Natural gas rates in Manitoba will increase another 6.9 per cent this Friday..
Including this latest hike prices will have gone up 15 per cent over the past year..
Manitoba hydro president Bob Brennan admits it's a high amount but the utility has little control on the overall price of the product..
He says the portion of the bill Manitoba Hydro controls is less than thirty per cent.
With this week's increase a typical residential customer can expect an overall annual increase of 73 dollars.
