GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
Article 42 - FUEL AND L&U (Continued)
42.6 Fuel Savings Sharing Mechanism - If Transporter experiences an
identifiable reduction in fuel consumption on its system
(excluding Lost and Unaccounted For ("L&U") savings or other
changes) that is directly related to a new qualifying capital
project placed into service under this mechanism, Transporter
shall retain eighty percent (80%) of the annual fuel consumption
savings resulting from a qualifying project for a period of five
(5) years from the date the project is initially placed into
service. Transporter shall be solely responsible for all capital
costs of a qualifying project and Transporter shall not at any
time in the future include any capital cost of a qualifying
project in its rates. Transporter's shippers shall receive twenty
percent (20%) of the fuel savings (in Dths) from any qualifying
project under this mechanism during the first five (5) years of
each project and 100% of any fuel savings (in Dths) thereafter.
Qualifying projects under this mechanism: (i) shall include
projects that are specifically designed to save fuel gas on
Transporter's system, and (ii) must be placed into service by
the earlier of: (a) the date that new rates become effective
pursuant to a general rate change application submitted by
Transporter pursuant to Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act, (b) the
date that rates become effective pursuant to action taken by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under Section 5 of the
Natural Gas Act, or (c) October 1, 2011. In its annual fuel
filing to establish its fuel percentage, Transporter shall fully
identify the capital project that produced the fuel consumption
savings as well as all pertinent data substantiating the fuel
savings (in Dths) to be shared. Further, Transporter shall
demonstrate that each project qualifies under this Near-Term Fuel
Savings Sharing Mechanism.
42.7 Neither the Fuel Gas reimbursement percentage nor the Lost,
Unaccounted For and Other Fuel Gas retention percentage may be
less than zero.
