Safety is the foundation of Canada’s gas delivery industry. Utilities support public safety year-round through carbon monoxide awareness, appliance maintenance guidance and “click before you dig” programs that prevent damage to underground infrastructure. These initiatives help keep homes and communities safe and informed.

Canada’s underground natural gas infrastructure delivers energy through extreme weather and peak demand with remarkably few outages — the average customer experiences one gas outage every 68 years. With 948 billion cubic feet of storage capacity, enough to heat 11.5 million homes for a year, the system is built for resilience and stability across seasons.

Canada is the world’s fifth-largest natural gas producer and a key contributor to North American energy security. Nearly 600,000 kilometres of pipeline infrastructure ensure affordable and reliable energy reaches communities across Canada and the United States.

With more than 200 years of proven supply, natural gas remains Canada’s most affordable home-heating option. Households that heat with natural gas save between $500 and $2,400 annually compared with electricity, propane or heating oil, savings that add up across regions.

Canada’s gas utilities are adopting advanced leak detection and methane management technologies, as well as energy-efficiency programs. Since 2013, these efforts have saved customers over 2.1 billion cubic metres of natural gas and cut emissions by more than 4 million tonnes of CO2e, equal to removing 1.1 million vehicles from the road.
