2025 Carbon Tax Changes: What It Means for Propane Pricing

The Canadian government introduced a carbon tax to help reduce emissions by adding a cost to fuels such as propane, gasoline, and natural gas. As of April 1, 2025, the federal fuel charge previously applied to propane has been eliminated, directly reducing propane costs for users across Canada. Here’s what you need to know. 

WHAT IS THE CARBON TAX: 

The carbon tax was established by the Canadian government to promote cleaner energy choices by adding costs to fossil fuels like propane, gasoline, and natural gas. Provinces and territories adopted either a carbon tax or cap-and-trade system unless exempted.

WHAT CHANGED IN 2025?

Starting April 1, 2025, the federal fuel charge previously added to propane was removed from the carbon pricing program. As propane will no longer carry the federal carbon tax, this change will lower the total price of propane on your bills, resulting in savings for our Superior Propane customers, depending on your province. 

 

HOW DOES THE CARBON TAX AFFECT YOUR PROPANE PRICE? 

Effective April 1, 2025, the Government of Canada removed the federal fuel charge on propane in provinces and territories where it previously applied, including Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Nunavut, and Yukon. As a result, propane deliveries made on or after this date will no longer include a carbon tax fee on your invoice.

Superior Propane clearly itemizes all charges on customer invoices, so you’ll notice that the carbon tax line item disappears from invoices for refills made April 1 or later. Any carbon tax amounts incurred before April 1, 2025, will still appear and remain payable.

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS TO MAXIMIZE PROPANE SAVINGS

Even with the carbon tax removed, there are still extra steps you can take to further reduce your energy bills. Propane is already one of the most cost-effective fuels available, and with our flexible pricing plans, you can maximize your savings. However, there's always room for additional savings by making your home more efficient while maintaining comfort.

✓
Seal Your Home: Weather-strip doors and windows and seal any leaks with caulking. Proper sealing prevents drafts, reduces heat loss, and keeps your home comfortable.
✓
Maintain Clean Gutters: Regularly cleaning your gutters helps prevent moisture buildup, ice dams, and potential damage, ensuring optimal efficiency.
✓
Harness Natural Sunlight: Let sunlight naturally warm your home by opening curtains during daylight hours. Close them at dusk to retain heat and maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
✓
Automate Your Thermostat: Use a programmable thermostat to adjust temperatures automatically. Lowering your thermostat between 18°C and 20°C overnight or when you're away conserves propane and reduces your heating bills.
✓
Regularly Track Propane Usage: Monitor your propane consumption monthly using mySUPERIOR™. Tracking your energy usage helps identify opportunities to save and allows you to adjust your habits accordingly.
✓
Schedule Annual Maintenance: Regular servicing of your heating equipment ensures peak efficiency, reduces propane usage, and extends equipment lifespan.
✓
Insulate Properly: Ensure your attic, basement, and walls are adequately insulated to prevent heat loss and reduce propane consumption significantly.
