Prescribed Petroleum Products Prices

Order dated April 16, 2020 made by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board

pursuant to Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations

Order In the matter of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act

M09672

- and -

In the matter of prescribing prices for petroleum products pursuant to Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations

Before: Richard J. Melanson, LL.B., Member

Whereas the purpose of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations is to ensure just and reasonable prices for specified petroleum products taking into consideration the objectives of preserving the availability of such products in rural areas, stabilizing prices of such products and minimizing the variances in prices of such products across the Province;

And whereas the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (“Board”) considered the manner in which it would proceed to set petroleum product prices in its decision, 2006 NSUARB 108, issued on October 16, 2006;

And whereas the Board revised the wholesale margin effective January 4, 2013, in its decision, 2012 NSUARB 213, issued on December 12, 2012;

N.S. Reg. 61/2020 Royal Gazette Part II - Regulations Vol. 44, No. 10

And whereas the Board revised the retail margin and the transportation allowance effective October 28, 2016, in its decision, 2016 NSUARB 168, issued on September 26, 2016;

And whereas the average of the average of the daily high and low reported product prices (in Canadian cents) for the period ended April 15, 2020, are:

Grade 1 Regular gasoline 22.12¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 34.87¢ per litre

Now therefore the Board prescribes the benchmark prices for petroleum products to be:

Gasoline: Grade 1 22.12¢ per litre Grade 2 25.12¢ per litre Grade 3 28.12¢ per litre

Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 34.87¢ per litre

And now therefore the Board has determined, based on historical data regarding price changes and to achieve revenue neutrality, it is appropriate to apply, and the Board so orders, forward averaging corrections of:

Gasoline: minus 1.1¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil: minus 1.9¢ per litre

And whereas a winter blending adjustment of plus 0¢ per litre is required for ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil;

And now therefore the Board prescribes the prices for petroleum products as set forth in Schedule “A” effective on and after 12:01 a.m., April 17, 2020.

Dated at Halifax, Nova Scotia, this 16th day of April, 2020.

And whereas the Board revised the wholesale margin effective January 4, 2013, in its decision, 2012 NSUARB 213, issued on December 12, 2012;

And whereas the Board revised the retail margin and the transportation allowance effective October 28, 2016, in its decision, 2016 NSUARB 168, issued on September 26, 2016;

And whereas the average of the average of the daily high and low reported product prices (in Canadian cents) for the period ended April 22, 2020, are:

Grade 1 Regular gasoline 20.31¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 31.36¢ per litre

Now therefore the Board prescribes the benchmark prices for petroleum products to be:

Gasoline: Grade 1 20.31¢ per litre Grade 2 23.31¢ per litre Grade 3 26.31¢ per litre

Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 31.36¢ per litre

And now therefore the Board has determined, based on historical data regarding price changes and to achieve revenue neutrality, it is appropriate to apply, and the Board so orders, forward averaging corrections of:

Gasoline: minus 1.0¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil: minus 2.10¢ per litre

And whereas a winter blending adjustment of plus 0¢ per litre is required for ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil;

And now therefore the Board prescribes the prices for petroleum products as set forth in Schedule “A” effective on and after 12:01 a.m., April 24, 2020.
