Fuel prices are as follows effective Feb. 12, 2024.

The price change only affects the 16 communities where the GNWT provides fuel. Inuvik, Yellowknife, Hay River, Fort Smith and other major centres will continue to see their fuel prices fluctuate on the free market.

Fuel prices are normally set twice a year by the GNWT SA国际影视传媒� usually following the summer barge and winter road resupply of communities. The price is based on the cost to purchase the fuel and transport it to respective communities. However, an additional price adjustment is scheduled for April 1, 2024, when the GNWTSA国际影视传媒檚 carbon tax exemption for diesel heating comes into effect.
