GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
22.5 Reservation of Capacity - Expansion Projects
(a) WTG Hugoton may elect to reserve for a future expansion project any
unsubscribed capacity or capacity under expiring or terminating service
agreements where such agreements do not have a right of first refusal or
Shipper does not exercise its right of first refusal. WTG Hugoton may only
reserve capacity for a future expansion project for which an open season has
been or will be held within one (1) year of the date that WTG Hugoton posts
such capacity as being reserved. Prior to reserving capacity for an expansion
project, WTG Hugoton shall first post for bid all of its available capacity on
its website for at least five (5) business days before capacity will be
reserved.
(b) Capacity may be reserved for expansion projects only for a 12-month
period prior to WTG Hugoton filing for certificate approval for construction
of proposed expansion facilities, and thereafter until the effective date of
any service agreement related to the certificate filing or the date the
expansion facilities are placed into service.
(c) If WTG Hugoton reserves capacity for an expansion project, it will
notify Shippers of its intent as part of WTG Hugoton's posting of capacity on
its Internet website. WTG Hugoton's posting for reserved capacity for future
expansion projects shall include the following information: (1) a description
of the project for which the capacity will be reserved; (2) the total quantity
of capacity to be reserved; (3) the location of the proposed reserved capacity
on the pipeline system; (4) whether, and if so when, WTG Hugoton anticipates
that an open season for the capacity will be held or the reserved capacity
will otherwise be posted for bids; (5) the projected in-service date of new
facilities; and (6) on an ongoing basis, how much of the reserved capacity has
been sold on a limited-term basis that would otherwise be eligible for a right
of first refusal. WTG Hugoton will make reasonable efforts to update the
reservation posting up to the in-service date of the project to reflect any
material changes in the scope of the project. The reservation posting or open
season will include a non-binding solicitation for turnback capacity from WTG
Hugoton's existing Shippers to serve the expansion project. In the event WTG
Hugoton includes the solicitation for turnback capacity in the reservation
posting, the reservation of capacity must be posted no later than 90 days
following an open season for a project.
