Overview of Core Liquids Projects Risk Framework Tolling Methodology Capital Cost Contract Term Volumetric Operating Cost Counter Party Cost of Service Rolled-In Pass through Shared although capped within a band Shared Depreciable life For contract arrangements we look for long term fixed contracts with incentives for early renewal Cost of service and rolled-in None Shared with incentives Investment grade counter parties or equivalent with credit support #16
Tolling Methodology Example: Alberta Clipper Surcharge Cost of Service Surcharge stipulated inputs are: Debt / Equity ratio 45% / 55% Rate Base Capex, annual maintenance costs, pipeline integrity costs, among others. Return on Equity NEB multi-pipeline rate (8.71% for 2008) plus 225 basis points Cost of Debt Taxes Weighted average cost of long-term debt incurred for the project Income tax allowance under FERC s policy Operating Expenses Power costs are a flow through All other operating expenses recovered (calculated based on actual expenses and adjusted for inflation) #17
