In the matter of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act

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:
Peter W. Gurnham, Q.C., Chair
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 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 week ended May 17, 2017, are:
Grade 1 Regular gasoline
56.2¢ per litre
Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil
53.9¢ per litre
Now therefore the Board prescribes the benchmark prices for petroleum products to be:
Gasoline:
Grade 1
56.2¢ per litre
Grade 2
59.2¢ per litre
Grade 3
62.2¢ per litre
Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil
53.9¢ 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:
plus 0.2¢ per litre
Ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil:
nil
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., May 19, 2017.
