Value of Pipeline Infrastructure to the Electric Grid Generators cannot run if they cannot get scheduled quantities to their delivery point In the event generators continue to utilize interruptible or secondary firm transportation, there is a higher probability their nominations will be restricted when the system is at capacity. The pipeline system schedules quantities to shippers who pay for primary firm service before scheduling other services. If power plants are incented to secure firm service, they will have the surety of firm delivery to the plants Firm service back to a liquid supply point will also provide generators with the ability to secure lower cost natural gas in addition to reliability thus bringing down the power cost to the grid and offsetting demand charges for firm supply and transport Arguably, additional infrastructure will also bring down natural gas prices to the region a benefit to the broader energy users (i.e., gas consumers) in the region as well AGT is currently in an open season process for new transmission facilities to provide this level of additional firm service 10
Spectra Energy Markets Value Diverse Sources of Supply Storage Facility Access Area Supplies Strong performance from shale plays in the access area Rockies ~700 MDth/d of new take-away capacity on Texas Eastern Significant flows at Lebanon and Clarington Marcellus Shale 3 Bcf/d of new interconnect capacity under agreement 180 MDth/d of current flow LNG 3 new LNG terminals directly connected to Spectra Energy Significant impact on AGT throughput for winter 09-10 11
Summary The pipelines operate as they are designed on peak days Facilities are designed to support primary firm obligations even though actual operation may differ from these obligations Most generators do not have firm contracts back to a liquid supply point On peak days, only firm services will be assured flow Absent firm commitments, generators will not have gas supplies to meet electric generation needs If generation is not able to access reliable natural gas supplies on peak days, it is because they have not been given the right incentives to sign up for firm gas supply or firm transportation Number of opportunities exist for generators to procure firm service: Subscribe to firm capacity from the pipelines Enter into capacity release agreements with existing shippers Sign up with a merchant supplier Firm capacity will provide generators with reliability of supply, including peak days, and can deliver an energy price break for the electric grid by providing access to growing, diverse and attractive supply points 12
APPENDIX 13
Pipeline Capacity Designed to Meet Firm Contractual Obligations Facilities designed to support primary firm obligations even though actual operation may differ from these obligations Assume all primary firm contracts are coincidental and at 100% contract quantity representing a peak day scenario No extra capacity exists above the coincidental peak day firm capacity Contractual Obligations we build capacity for firm contract customers 14
General Pipeline Services Offered Transportation primary firm, secondary firm, interruptible Storage inventory quantity, injection/withdrawal rights Imbalance Service daily/monthly supply vs demand balancing Hourly (non-ratable) flow flexibility Park and Loan short term ability to be short or long supply into the system
Pipeline Capacity Scheduling Priorities - General hierarchy of firm transport services Priority 1: Priority 2: Priority 3A: Priority 3B: - Interruptible transport - Imbalance Service - Park and Loan Primary Receipt to Primary Delivery Secondary within contracted path Secondary outside of path if restriction is in contract path Secondary outside of path if restriction is outside the contract path
Peak Day Physical Flow Management Actual flow flexibility is limited to scheduled services on peak days. Likely, no services other than firm transport. Delivery Points without nominations will likely not be allowed to flow Supply/demand imbalances are monitored very closely to ensure that all customers receive their scheduled volumes
