Dominion Energy Ohio is sold to Canadian gas utility Enbridge
Dominion Energy Ohio's sale to Canadian gas utility is complete
The sale of Dominion Energy Ohio, which is the regulated natural gas utility for 1.2 million customers in Ohio, to a Canadian gas utility has been completed.
Enbridge, as of Thursday, now owns one of Dominion’s gas utilities and is in the process of acquiring two others.
The three Dominion gas utilities serve 3 million customers in Ohio, North Carolina, Utah, Wyoming and Idaho.
“The addition of a strong Ohio-based gas utility company is a great strategic fit for Enbridge,” Michelle Harradence, Enbridge’s executive vice president and president of gas distribution and storage, said in a press release.
Enbridge is now North America’s largest natural gas utility franchise, with more than 7 million customers.
Ohio customers will see few changes with the sale, officials from both companies and the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio have said.
