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 M09974 - 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: Stephen T. McGrath, 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; And
whereas on December 30, 2020, the Board issued an interim order in Matter M09952 increasing the wholesale margin for self-service and full-service gasoline and diesel, on an interim basis, by 2.50 cents per litre (cpl) to a total of 9.15 cpl; 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 January 27, 2021, are: Grade 1 Regular gasoline 54.71¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 53.51¢ per litre
Now therefore the Board prescribes the benchmark prices for petroleum products to be: Gasoline: Grade 1 54.71¢ per litre Grade 2 57.71¢ per litre Grade 3 60.71¢ per litre Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil 53.51¢ 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: © NS Office of the Registrar of Regulations. Web version. 76
