This charge will increase to $4.10/GJ
The current price of $65 per tonne (of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions) for heating fuels will increase on April 1, 2024 to $80 per tonne. These rates are prescribed by the Government of Canada on an increasing scale and are scheduled to increase to $95 per tonne in April 2025.
