What is a Resource Plan? A long-term plan for the acquisition of resources to meet forecasted customer needs. A planning document that outlines stakeholder input and analyzes financial, environmental and social impacts. Resource Planning is intended to facilitate the selection of cost-effective resources that yield the best overall outcome of expected impacts and risks for ratepayers over the long run. - BCUC Resource Planning Guidelines, 2003 Resource Plans submitted to the BCUC for review and acceptance Approval for specific actions still subject to other regulatory review processes 8

Evaluating the Resource Options Objective Attribute Measure Ensure reliable and secure System reliability Risk of outages supply. Security of supply Gas supply diversity Provide service to Financial evaluation of Net Present Value customers at least delivered supply side and demand side Total Resource Cost (TRC) cost. resources Ratepayer Impact (RIM) Reduce rate volatility. Expected rates Risk trade-offs Balance socio-economic and environmental impacts.

Natural Gas Demand Natural gas demand in PNW will grow moderately over next five years. normal weather, economic conditions Load shape changing: peak loads growing faster than base. 38

Natural Gas Supply There is plenty of gas, but N. American production struggling to keep up with growing demand. N. America increasingly integrated PNW consumers will benefit from incremental supplies. 39

Natural Gas Prices Natural gas prices have moderated; Prices remain volatile: tight supply/demand balance weather, production, etc. 40

Natural Gas Infrastructure Transmission/storage capacity adequate to serve region at present. Very efficient system; little redundancy; how to serve changing load shape. Permitting/regulatory processes must be nimble; facilitate necessary projects when required. Infrastructure takes time. Information sharing helps ensure supply is available when needed. 41

Overview Overview of gas supply planning at Terasen Gas Meeting Future Peak Load Growth Infrastructure projects have long lead times Regional Resource Options Available Current and Future Best Fit for TGI/TGVI Market Valuation of Resources Options 87

Gas Supply Planning Criteria / Managing Risks Build supply diversity into portfolio Ideally have multiple suppliers, pipelines, storage resources, supply basins. Attempt to limit exposure to problems associated with a single source. Support regional infrastructure planning- NWGA Work cooperatively with other utilities in the region. Ensure adequate supply. Infrastructure projects have long lead times. Add resources that reduce price volatility. Manage price risk Store gas in summer Use financial tools (buy at fixed prices in advance). Build a flexible plan 88

3. Combined Evaluation of TGVI System Costs and Net Cost of On-System Storage Comments / Observations Portfolios including on-system LNG storage are favoured relative to Pipe & Compression portfolios As consideration is given to: larger LNG facilities, higher cost range of market storage, and the longer evaluation period the net benefit of on-system LNG storage increases 122

4. Security of Supply, Rate Volatility and Balanced Impacts Security of Supply and Rate Volatility LNG Storage portfolio Increases Vancouver Island local gas supply diversity Provides supply protection against upstream pipeline disruptions Alleviates TGI/TGVI winter flow requirements at Huntingdon which reduces NWP downstream concerns Provides buffer against price disconnects due to regional capacity constraints Balanced Impacts Emission factor comparable between portfolios Land Use favours Pipe and Compression portfolio Employment favours LNG Storage portfolio LNG Storage Pipe and Compression CO 2 e (average tonnes per TJ delivered) 2.58 2.56 NO x (average kg per TJ delivered) 1.56 1.55 SO 2 (average kg per TJ delivered) 0.051 0.051 Land Use (acres) 92 60 Employment construction (person years) 188 101 Employment permanent 9.5 2.5 123

5. Resource Evaluation Matrix LNG Storage portfolio is preferred Lowest delivered cost based on avoided facilities and value of market area storage Increased regional supply diversity improves security of supply and reduces rate volatility Portfolios are comparable on Balanced Impacts of emissions, land use, and employment LNG Storage Pipe & Compression Lowest Delivered Cost Security of Supply Rate Volatility Balanced Impacts 124

5. Conclusions / Recommendations Portfolios with On-System LNG storage are preferred. There are opportunities to achieve greater benefits for the region by building a larger-sized LNG facility Action items TGVI should pursue arrangements with TGI, other utilities and regional gas market participants to realize the regional benefits associated with the larger LNG facilities. TGVI will develop and file a revised CPCN application for an onsystem LNG storage 125

What Is LNG? LNG (liquefied natural gas) is natural gas cooled until it condenses into a clear liquid. LNG is stored at -162 o C (-260 o F) at atmospheric pressure in a thermos like storage container. LNG takes up far less space about 1/600 th of its original volume as a gas. LNG (the liquid itself) is not flammable or explosive. 128

Types of LNG Facilities Peak Shaving: Peak days sendout Small storage capacity Onsite liquefaction and vaporization Annual fill and use Base Load - Import/Export Terminal: Base load supply Large storage capacity Daily liquefaction or send out Supplied to/by marine tanker 129

Tilbury Island (Delta, B. C.) Peak shaving LNG Plant (1970) - 0.6 bcf 130

LNG Facility Site Near Ladysmith LNG Storage Facility Storage: 0.5 to 1.5 bcf Send-out: 10 days at max. rate Liquefaction: 200 days 6km NW of Ladysmith, West of Mt. Hayes Located near load center on Southern Vancouver Island 131
