GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
CAPACITY RESERVED FOR EXPANSION PROJECTS
27. CAPACITY RESERVED FOR EXPANSION PROJECTS
27.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this tariff, Pipeline reserves the right to reserve
for expansion projects any unsubscribed capacity or capacity under expiring or terminating
Service Agreements where such Agreements do not have a ROFR or Customer does not exercise
its ROFR pursuant to the terms of this Section 27.
27.2 Prior to reserving capacity under this Section 27, Pipeline shall post for bidding and
award the capacity using the procedures of GT&C Section 26. Capacity will be posted for
at least five (5) Business Days before it is reserved. As part of its posting, Pipeline
shall have the right to establish minimum terms and conditions equivalent to those
applicable to the open season that Pipeline has held or will hold in connection with a
future expansion project. In the event that the open season held in connection with the
future expansion project imposes minimum terms and conditions that are materially
different than those stated in the posting for reserving capacity, Pipeline shall re-post
for bidding and award the reserved capacity using the same minimum terms and conditions as
were imposed in the expansion project open season.
27.3 Pipeline may continue to reserve capacity under this Section 27 until the expansion project
is placed in service; provided, however, that the reservation of capacity shall terminate
one (1) year from the date that the notice was posted if Pipeline has not filed a
certificate application for an expansion project or projects or if the expansion project
for which the capacity is reserved does not go forward for any reason.
27.4 Pipeline shall maintain on its Website a notice describing the capacity that Pipeline has
reserved under this Section 27. Pipeline's notice shall include: (1) a brief description
of its expansion projects; (2) the quantity of capacity to be reserved; (3) the location
of the proposed reserved capacity on Pipeline's system, including the proposed Receipt and
Delivery Points and associated quantities at those points; (4) the projected in-service
date of the expansion project; (5) information regarding the timing of the open season or
other solicitation of bids for participation in the expansion project; and (6) the amount
of reserved capacity that has been sold on an interim basis. The posted notice shall be
updated from time to time, to reflect the sales of reserved capacity on an interim basis,
expansion projects that have been placed in service, and material changes in the scope of
any future expansion project affecting the level or nature of reserved capacity.
27.5 If unsubscribed capacity, that has been posted for bid remains unsubscribed after posting,
and if such unsubscribed capacity is insufficient to serve the expansion project, the
reservation posting or open season will include a non-binding solicitation for turnback
capacity from Pipeline's existing Customers to serve the expansion project. Pipeline
shall post on its Website a non-binding solicitation for expansion project related
turnback capacity no later than ninety (90) days after the close of an expansion project's
open season specifying the minimum term for a response to the solicitation.
27.6 Any capacity reserved under this Section 27 shall be made available pursuant to GT&C
Section 26 for a limited term or terms calculated to end no later than the in-service date
of the expansion project(s). For such limited-term agreements, Pipeline reserves the
right to limit any roll-over or renewal rights provided in the Service Agreement and any
ROFR, and shall state these limitations in its capacity posting. Any capacity reserved
for a project that does not go forward for any reason shall be re-posted as generally
available within thirty (30) days of the date the capacity becomes available, with the
exception of capacity committed to in contracts entered into on an interim limited term
basis until the in-service date of any expansion facilities during the period the capacity
was reserved.
