Subdivision Development

Subdivision is dividing a parcel of land into two and obtaining separate legal titles for each. You may make the application as the landowner, or hire a professional consultant or land surveyor.

After you have submitted your application, we will contact you for further clarification if necessary. This will delay your application, so make sure that your information is complete and accurate.

Gas and electrical service

Developers requiring gas or electric services installed in their subdivision must have a completed and approved Functional Servicing Report in order to apply for services. Apply once you are ready to proceed with development and have all appropriate approvals from your jurisdiction's planning department.

There is a $100/lot application fee to apply for electric and gas servicing in a subdivision development.

The application fee goes toward the initial project evaluation in order to provide the developer a conceptual design.

Funding model

For developments greater than two contiguous lots, the utility will invest a portion of capital toward the development of gas and electric infrastructure. The utility investment will be no greater than the net present value of the revenue expected to be collected in the first 10 years of distribution service discounted at a rate equal to utility's weighted average costs of capital (WACC).

Revenue is defined as the revenue per customer as determined by the approved Gas Utility Bylaw and Electric Utility Bylaw rates for the corresponding rate classifications.

Costs related to offsite system upgrades or system relocation for the exclusive benefit of the applicant that may be required for a development will be fully funded by the applicant.

Costs associated with streetlights will be fully funded by the applicant.
