N.B. government seeks energy board's advice on fuel prices
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/petroleum-investigation-killed-eub-1.6518610
Petroleum investigation ordered by province killed by EUB
Regulator rejects Ministerial order citing lack of jurisdiction
The province overlooked the fact the requested investigation requires powers the EUB does not possess, according to the energy regulator.
"The Board does not have jurisdiction to investigate this directive," the EUB's chief clerk Kathleen Mitchell wrote in a letter to Natural Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland last week.
The episode adds to an apparently confused understanding by the New Brunswick government about the EUB's powers and the manner in which petroleum prices are set in the province.
New Brunswick political leaders spent much of the spring jousting over what should be done about the rising and volatile cost of petroleum, even though prices in New Brunswick, outside of taxes, were consistently the lowest in the region through the period.
Premier
Blaine Higgs said in June he wanted answers from the EUB about how it
sets petroleum prices even though the body follows rules made by the
province. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
On June 9, in the midst of that ongoing volatility, Holland said he had directed his department "to put together some sort of a request to the EUB to analyze and come back with recommendations," about how the province could better deal with petroleum pricing issues.
"This is an effort in which we want to go forward and say, in a rapid fashion, in immediate terms, come back to us with an analysis," said Holland.
New Brunswick has regulated the maximum amount oil and gas companies can charge consumers for petroleum products since 2006.
Rules that govern that process were devised by the province and the Energy and Utilities Board was given responsibility for applying them.
Normally the body adjusts the upper limit of what consumers can be charged for various petroleum products once per week based on rising and falling commodity prices and the official pricing formula spelled out in legislation.
However, between January and early June this year gasoline and diesel prices jumped 70 cents per litre in New Brunswick and required 44 separate price settings in 23 weeks.
That included 21 special "interrupter" price settings, which are required when commodity prices rise or fall on markets by six cents per litre or more in a single trading day or five cents or more in the case of furnace oil.
Natural
Resources and Energy Development Minister Mike Holland ordered the
Energy and Utilties Board in June to investigate better ways to set
prices. The board declined, citing a lack of jurisdiction given to it in
legislation. (CBC)
On June 9, the EUB lifted the maximum price for regular unleaded gasoline in New Brunswick 8.3 cents to a then record 219.6 cents per litre. That appeared to trigger Holland's call for the EUB to investigate what government could do to soften the price shocks.
In an official letter sent later that day, Holland told the EUB he wanted it to "make an investigation on how to reduce the volatility of petroleum product pricing caused by the interruptions in the weekly price setting."
He also wrote he wanted the body to make recommendations on "how to mitigate the impact on consumers of high petroleum prices."
In its response to the Minister sent last week the board said it "doubts" it has the authority to look at the interruptions issue and is certain it has no jurisdiction to look at mitigating high prices for consumers.
"The Board only has jurisdiction to act upon those powers expressly or implicitly delegated through enabling legislation," wrote Mitchell for the board.
"Actions outside this jurisdiction are of no force or effect."
The EUB requires more than a letter from Holland to dig into the requested investigations, Mitchell explained, suggesting an official assignment to look at the issue from Cabinet is required.
"If the Government were to require the Board to carry out these investigations through the Lieutenant Governor in Council, by Order in Council, the Board would be seized with jurisdiction, and have the obligation to carry out such investigations," read Mitchell's letter.

and diesel prices in New Brunswick jumped 70 cents per litre between
January and June requiring 21 special 'interruption' price settings by
the Energy and Utilities Board. (Robert Jones/CBC News)
It's not the only misunderstanding this year the province has had over the limited authority it has given the Energy and Utilities Board over petroleum pricing.
Also in June, New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs said his government was pressing the Board to explain how it sets prices in certain market conditions, apparently unaware the body is only permitted to follow formulas given to it by government.
"We are asking those questions of the EUB right now," said Higgs.
Despite concerns expressed by New Brunswick government officials over pricing, records show consumers in the province fared reasonably well through spring price shocks compared those in neighbouring jurisdictions.
According to the energy information company Kalibrate, the average price of a litre of unleaded gasoline in Saint John was 194.6 cents per litre in May and 210.7 cents in June. That's within one cent of prices in Halifax for those two months even though taxes on gasoline in New Brunswick are more than six cents higher than in Nova Scotia.
Diesel prices averaged 13 cents more in Saint John than Halifax but taxes on diesel were 15 cents higher in New Brunswick.
Asked this week whether the province will pass an order-in-council directing the EUB to conduct the investigations requested by Holland, his department indicated in an email it is now doing the work on its own.
"We are currently reviewing the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and will bring forward recommendations to government on how the Act can be amended to better protect consumers, and to provide more certainty and stability for retailers and everyday drivers," wrote spokesperson Nick Brown.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Rather substandard performance from the government. What the heck are the opposition parties doing in NB, they should be all over this and organizing like crazy. With a track record like this, they don't deserve to get re elected, but what to do when there are no viable options present.
Why involve the EUB unless you are looking for someone else to blame?
Same for any other oil company.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/province-seeking-fuel-prices-1.6483130
N.B. government seeks energy board's advice on fuel prices
Fuel prices have climbed to historic levels since the war in Ukraine began
Energy Minister Mike Holland says his department has contacted the arm's-length provincial regulator to seek "advice … suggestions or recommendations" about how to soften the impact on consumers.
"It's information they can give us," Holland said. "They can give us information about global trends. They can give recommendations, and then at that point it's up to us to come back and do it."
The EUB's weekly price-setting pushed the maximum price for a litre of regular gasoline up 8.3 cents to $2.196 on Thursday.
'They
can give us information about global trends. They can give
recommendations,' said New Brunswick Natural Resources and Energy
Development Minister Mike Holland. (CBC)
The weekly price-setting is released each Thursday and is based on a formula linked to the global price of oil.
But the board can raise, or lower, the price at other times during the week if the market price changes by six cents in a single day.
Fuel-price misstep
On Wednesday, Premier Blaine Higgs stated incorrectly that that mechanism is only triggered to raise prices, not to bring them down.
"That is used sometimes in terms of raising prices, and I don't understand quite why that can't be used to reduce prices. I don't know whether it's possible or not," he said.
"I know I get accused of putting thoughts out there before they're completely understood, but it's another thought that I just think the EUB has to work both ways. We are asking those questions of the EUB right now."
In fact, the so-called interruption clause does allow non-Thursday price drops.
Premier
Blaine Higgs suggested Wednesday that the EUB's interrupter clause
could only be used to raise fuel prices. In fact, the clause has been
used to decrease prices several times this year alone. (Ed Hunter/CBC)
It has happened three times since the war in Ukraine began driving up the cost of gasoline. The board lowered the per-litre price by 15.7 cents on March 11, 9.3 cents on March 30 and 8.6 cents on May 20.
On Thursday Holland wouldn't comment on the premier's error. He said the point of contacting the EUB was to use their data and expertise.
"We put that forward with a hope that they can come back and just give us more information, because with the full scope of information, it gives us the ability to make decisions."
He acknowledged that in the end there's no way to avoid the world price of oil, but he joined Higgs in blaming federal environmental policies for constricting the supply of crude and contribution to even higher prices.
Government 'scrambling'
Opposition parties say the invoking of the EUB is a sign the government is flailing around for options.
"They're scrambling to be able to say they're doing everything they possibly can," Green Leader David Coon said.
'They’re scrambling to be able to say they’re doing everything they can
possibly can,' Green Leader David Coon said. (Jacques Poitras/CBC News

He said the EUB has no mandate to give governments recommendations, and while seeking more information is fine, "in the grand scheme of things it's not going to make any difference to the price of gas or diesel."
Liberal Leader Roger Melanson also said the EUB has no role to play and accused Higgs of looking to blame others for his own decision not to cut the 10.87-cent-per-litre provincial gas tax.
"There's no international market conditions that regulate or control the provincial gas tax," he said. "That's completely up to the government. They can act, today, at midnight tonight. … I know I sound like a broken record but it's true."

Higgs won't know that, for one he doesn't buy his own gas.
If the EUB can control the price of fuel the Public pays based on market value.
Why can't the Government control the royalties paid by the lumber companies based on market value ?

Higgs talks shale gas revival, but global price spike may not last
Experts say investment is a gamble without long-term purchase agreement
But his toughest opponent may be the uncertainties of the world market.
"The big question mark is, we've got a big price spike now, but is that going to continue for the next couple of years or couple of decades?" said Kent Fellows, an economist who studies the gas market at the University of Calgary.
The premier has been talking for weeks about whether the war in Ukraine, and the need for Europe to find new supplies of natural gas to replace what it bought from Russia, warrants a new push for shale gas extraction here.
Significant anti-shale gas protests occurred in Elsipogtog in 2014. (CBC)
It is a politically delicate subject, given the confrontations between the RCMP and anti-fracking protestors near Elsipogtog First Nation in 2013.
"There's a lot to this. Believe me, I don't want to relive 2014, or '12. I don't want to go through any of that," Higgs said recently.
"So we would need to work with communities, First Nations, and have a general understanding of, 'Can we be of assistance here to ourselves and others, and is the time right to do that?'"
Higgs said he's not planning to repeal a Liberal moratorium on exploration, but wants to instead find a way to satisfy the five criteria in that legislation, including public acceptance.
"We'd have to address those," he said.
Unstable view of gas
The bigger challenge, however, may be the hesitation of gas companies to invest in development that may not be as lucrative in the long term as it would be today.
Add to that the lengthy regulatory approval process and it's virtually impossible to move quickly for short-term gain.
"There is a long lead time on getting this infrastructure in place and it comes with a high capital cost, so you need long-term expectations to make it pay off," says Fellows.
Should the war in Ukraine end quickly with a deal that allows Russian gas back into Europe, prices would drop again and the business case for a New Brunswick industry could evaporate.
That's the same question looming over another gas project Higgs is touting: the conversion of Repsol's Saint John LNG import terminal to allow the liquefaction and export of Canadian natural gas to Europe.
Economist
Kent Fellows says while the war in Ukraine has spiked fuel prices,
there's no guarantee the prices will stay that high. (CBC)
Todd McDonald, president of Halifax-based gas trading firm Energy Atlantica, said Repsol is unlikely to spend the money required without a 10 or 20-year agreement to lock in a fixed price on natural gas.
And that's a commitment European politicians may hesitate to give, he adds.
An end to the war, and a return of cheaper Russian gas, might anger consumers stuck with a locked-in higher price for Canadian gas.
"If you're in office and you say 'I've got an election in two years, do I want to be the guy who signs up for 20 years right now?'" McDonald said. "It's a tough call."
Higgs has linked the two gas scenarios, suggesting shale gas from New Brunswick could be shipped via Repsol to help Europe reduce its reliance on Russia.
"I talk about it because it's another possible solution right now," the premier said last week.
But McDonald said while a supply of New Brunswick-produced gas could help clinch Respol's decision, it's unlikely to come online fast enough.
Gas extracted in New Brunswick would be cheaper for Repsol to export because it would travel a much shorter distance than gas coming to Saint John from Alberta or the U.S. and be subject to much lower pipeline tolls.
But New Brunswick's regulatory regime moves much slower than its Alberta counterpart, said McDonald.
And Repsol's been stung before by abrupt changes in the global market.
The company opened its import terminal, known as Canaport LNG, in 2009, in partnership with Irving Oil.
Commissioned
in 2008, the Canaport LNG terminal, Canada’s first liquefied natural
gas terminal, is on the north shore of the Bay of Fundy at Saint John. (Nick Hawkins)
At the time, importing foreign gas looked like a solid bet. But the shale boom in the United States led to a glut of cheap North American gas on the market, making imports unattractive.
"So that facility largely sits unused for 80 to 90 per cent of the year because of that exact equation," McDonald said.
Repsol, which bought out Irving Oil's stake in the terminal last year and renamed it Saint John LNG, would not comment in detail.
"The company will look at any/all business that enhances or creates value at Saint John LNG, including the potential to add liquefaction capabilities [for gas exports] to the existing facility," spokesperson Mike Blackier said in an email.
Buy-in
Higgs emphasized repeatedly last week that he doesn't want to take a hard line and will be sensitive to public opinion.
"It isn't a matter of enforcing options, it's a matter of discussing options," he said.
The Opposition Liberals say Higgs has yet to meet the five conditions they attached to lifting the moratorium while in power:
- A "social licence," or public acceptance, through consultations.
- Clear information on potential impacts on air, public health and water so that proper regulations can be in place.
- A plan to lessen impacts on public infrastructure and deal with issues such as disposal of waste water from fracking.
- A consultation process with Indigenous people.
- A "proper" royalty structure to ensure New Brunswick benefits from development.
"There's nothing suggesting we have social acceptance," said Liberal natural resources critic René Legacy.
"The premier seems to think that because of the geopolitical situation in the world, we can toss aside environmental needs."
Jennifer Coleman, spokesperson for Mi'gmawe'l Tplu'taqnn Inc., which represents Mi'kmaq chiefs, said the organization "has not received any recent outreach from the provincial government on shale gas."
The Higgs government carved out a small exemption to the Liberal moratorium in 2019 for the area in Penobsquis where Corridor Resources was already extracting gas.
But so far, the company, now known as Headwater Exploration, has not taken advantage of that exemption to explore for more gas.
Even so, McDonald said Higgs is right to relaunch a conversation on shale gas. He says it's hypocritical that voters want quality health care and education, but oppose the gas development that would help pay for them.
McDonald says he believes there's a better-than-50-percent chance European nations will eventually sign deals for North American gas.
"Yeah, I think they'll sign on the dotted line, if I were a gambling man, for a long-term contract," he said, whether it's with Repsol or another supplier.
"Whether Higgs can rally the public to say 'hey there is social licence,' I just don't know. That's a tough one. That, I don't think I'd bet on, because I've been in the business 20 years and I used to be an optimist about that, but I've just been wrong too many times."
