3 Texas Eastern Supplies Pre-Marcellus Flows 2007 ~50% ~50% Northeast Markets In 2007, gas flowing into the Northeast came from two sources: About half of this supply came up from the Gulf of Mexico The other supply came from Mid- Continent shales and from interconnecting pipelines delivering gas into our system in Ohio Spectra Energy Corp 3

4 Texas Eastern Appalachian Shale Supply Interconnect Program 54 Requests In-Service & Under Agreement (requested tap & posted M&R capacity) Current Appalachian Shale Supply 14.2 Bcf/d Bcf/d 33 In-Service (posted M&R capacity) 6.6 Bcf/d 21 In Progress & Under Agreement (Scheduled 2013 In-Service) 7.6 Bcf/d Texas Eastern Appalachian Shale Supply Growth 2,000,000 1,750,000 1,500,000 1,250,000 1,000, , , ,000 - Jan-10 Jul-10 Jan-11 Jul-11 Jan-12 Jul-12 Jan-13 Spectra Energy Corp 4

5 Texas Eastern Supplies Expected Flows 2017 Ontario Northeast Midwest Gulf Coast Marcellus By 2017, we expect to flow as much volume southbound as we used to flow northbound We anticipate Marcellus continuing to supply the Northeast and the Gulf Coast and Midwest Spectra Energy Corp 5

7 Interrelated Gas/Electric Issues Gas/Electric issues can be sorted into 3 sets of interrelated issues Communication Scheduling and Coordination Infrastructure and Services Spectra Energy Corp 7

8 Communication The general perception is that reliability will be enhanced if electric operators and gas operators communicate on status of their respective operations How much communication is too much? When must communication be public and what can be private are key regulatory questions FERC provided needed guidance in Order No. 787 regarding electric rules and gas rules which were in place for the winter. restrict communications Spectra Energy Corp 8

9 Scheduling & Coordination Standardized Gas Day is standardized for North America Gas Scheduling is standardized for North America Some pipelines provide Hourly Scheduling including Spectra Energy pipelines Not Standardized Electric Day varies by ISO Electric Scheduling varies by ISO Prior efforts to standardize Gas/Electric Day were unsuccessful NAESB efforts to identify solutions Natural Gas Council Proposal FERC NOPR RM14-2 Spectra Energy Corp 9

16 What Is The Real Problem? Communication, Scheduling and Coordination concerns are merely symptoms of the real problem: Insufficient gas pipeline infrastructure to support growing gas demand The disconnect: Wholesale electric markets dispatch plants based on price with no incentives for reliability The dispatch model discourages generators from holding firm capacity contracts Pipelines, however, need long term contracts to support infrastructure investment to meet growing demand Spectra Energy Corp 16
