GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
6. NEW FACILITIES CHARGE
6.1 When new and/or expanded facilities are required to
accommodate receipt and/or delivery of gas under a request for new
service, and Horizon determines that installation of such
facilities will not impair service to any existing Shipper or
threaten the integrity of Horizon's System, Horizon will construct
such facilities but Horizon shall require Shipper to pay all
construction costs, including any filing fees and a reimbursement
amount to compensate for federal income tax effects associated with
such facilities, except that Horizon will pay the cost of such
facilities when the criteria set forth below are satisfied.
6.2 (a) Horizon will pay the cost of the modification or
construction of facilities required at Receipt or Delivery Point(s)
to effectuate the receipt or delivery of natural gas hereunder when
the construction or modification of such facilities is economically
beneficial to Horizon. Horizon may conclude that a portion of the
facilities are economically beneficial.
(b) (1) For the purposes of determining whether a gas
supply project is economically beneficial to Horizon, Horizon will
evaluate each prospective project based upon the amount of the
reserves and/or deliverability characteristic of the gas supply to
be attached. Facility additions at Receipt Points shall be
evaluated based upon the incremental cost of service of the
facilities to be constructed by Horizon, and the incremental
revenues which Horizon estimates will be generated as a result of
constructing and/or modifying such facilities.
(2) For the purposes of determining whether a
project to deliver gas is economically beneficial to Horizon,
Horizon will evaluate each prospective project based upon the
incremental cost of service of the facilities to be constructed by
Horizon, and the incremental revenues which Horizon estimates will
be generated as a result of constructing and/or modifying such
facilities.
(3) In estimating the incremental revenues to be
generated, Horizon will base those revenues upon transportation
rates it expects to be able to charge, exclusive of any surcharges,
such as an ACA charge, and the projected incremental volumes which
will result from the project. Horizon will consider volumes to be
incremental if the volumes which will be transported would not
otherwise flow through Horizon's System.
