2 Presentation Overview ENSTAR Overview Distribution vs. Transmission Pipelines Cook Inlet Transmission Pipelines Transmission System Capacity Transmission System Reliability Gas Storage Imported Gas

3 Established 1961 Number of Meters 134,000+ Number of Alaskans Served* 361,800 Miles of Distribution Mains 3,200+ Transmission Mains Miles 400+ Number of ENSTAR Employees 190 * 134,000 Meters x 2.7 Alaskan Consumers per Meter

4 ENSTAR s Distribution System Pressure Regulation Station Reduces transmission pressure to distribution pressure, SCADA monitored, relief valve protects distribution system from over pressurization. Distribution Pipelines 60 PSI MAOP Mains 2-8" HDPE, typically in road right-of-ways, 36-48" deep, have locate wire.

11 Project Impact Currently allows storage of 11 BCF. Allows for purchase and storage of gas during summer for use during winter peak demands. Designed to meet more than 30% of monthly average peak demand during the 2012/2013 winter. Helps alleviate need for winter peak well capacity to meet peak daily utility demand.

12 Pipeline-Storage-Imports

13 Regulatory Impacts Transmission upgrades affect rates. 80% of transmission plant was allocated to gas sales customers in 2008 Cost of Service Study. ENSTAR has used a measured approach to transmission upgrades to ensure that its traditional customers get the benefits they are paying for. ENSTAR s tariff provides that an expansion of service cannot cause an unreasonable cost burden to be borne by existing customers. Cost causer, cost payer

14 Future Pipeline Planning Continue to upgrade ENSTAR Kenai to Anchorage pipelines by line replacement and additional compression. Examine additional compression to move gas East to West on. CINGSA expansion to occur as needed Examine gas imports and re-gas to be installed if needed. System modifications dependent largely on gas sources.
