Mr Prentice informed members that over 1400 customers had already been connected to live gas in the North West and that they benefited from lower fuel costs through fixed price contracts. He said Firmus were extending the existing 2 year capped tariff price for domestic customers for another 12 months and that a 10% reduction would be extended to top tier commercial customers, which equated to a 6% reduction in annual gas bills capped until January 2009. He added there were also proven environmental benefits from using gas through reduced carbon emissions. Mr Prentice thanked Council for converting to gas at the Roe Valley Leisure Centre and in Council offices and said the service was expected to be connected in 4 to 6 weeks time. Firmus representatives answered a number of queries in relation to gas to rural areas and to health & safety around the service.
