Shifting Supplies of Natural Gas to New England New Infrastructure is Needed Declining Supplies from W. Canada New Regional Supplies Need more infrastructure NEW YORK PORTLAND BOSTON Declining Supplies from LNG Imports With increasing supplies from the Marcellus & Utica shales the gas supplied from LNG imports and Western Canada is declining There is also a need to debottleneck the routes from Appalachian supplies to New England to lower natural gas prices for New England customers This is especially important as the region relies more heavily on gasfired power generation NEW ENGLAND CANADA BUSINESS COUNCIL NOVEMBER 13, 2015 3

Access Northeast s Proposed Energy Reliability Service Rate Schedule ERS is reserved no-notice, last mile transportation service delivering gas to the gas-fired electric generators attached currently or in the future ERS incorporates non-ratable delivery rights for primary firm deliveries Capacity is reserved for shippers full MDTQ on a 24/7 basis No-notice flexibility is supported through accessing regional storage facilities Service allows shippers to commence delivery up to two hours without commensurate supply in advance of flow MSOA (Multi-shipper Option Agreement) can work in tandem with ERS to allow multiple firm parties to contract under one administrator to manage the collective contract capacity providing generators access to pipeline capacity/services to reliably serve their plants Administrator would also optimize any unutilized or underutilized capacity Supports renewable energy generation development by enabling rapid response to sudden changes in power output NEW ENGLAND CANADA BUSINESS COUNCIL NOVEMBER 13, 2015 6
Electric Reliability Firm to the Last Mile Focuses squarely on the energy problem facing New England: Winter gas supply Directly serves greatest number of natural gas-fired power plants Energy security from reduced dependence on foreign LNG imports Delivers significant savings to customers Leverages existing assets, accelerating in-service date and reducing environmental impact Essential to support renewable capacity wind and solar NEW ENGLAND CANADA BUSINESS COUNCIL NOVEMBER 13, 2015 7
