On April 17, Enbridge filed an application with the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) requesting authority to replace and relocate the segment of Line 5 that crosses the Straits of Mackinac into a tunnel beneath the Straits of Mackinac. Enbridge asked the MPSC for a declaratory ruling that it already has the authority from the Commission to construct the replacement segment based on the Commission’s original 1953 order granting authority for the Line 5 pipeline.

Get ready to celebrate #PROPANEday on June 7! For this second edition of #PROPANEday, the CPA has created social media posts for you to share on your social media platforms. This year’s messaging focuses on the critical role of propane in the COVID-19 pandemic and how the industry has risen to this unprecedented challenge.
Propane Levac has introduced a new #EverthingwillbeOK truck to its fleet. Throughout the summer, this truck will deliver propane to Levac customers in all serviced areas. For each propane litre it delivers, they will make a 5-cent donation to a local food bank. Their goal is to donate a total of $30,000!

The Propane Education & Research Council released a video for commercial builders and contractors that provides a comprehensive overview of tankless water heaters. The video details how the systems work and their role in meeting LEED certification. It also outlines the importance of maximizing space and efficiency in commercial buildings, given that water heating is a major energy consumer in many buildings — particularly older buildings in need of renovations.
