Current Open Seasons
dawn-parkway firm transportation reverse open season
May 18, 2012
Union Gas Limited ("Union Gas") has recently conducted an Open Season for new capacity on the Parkway Extension Project and the Dawn to Parkway system, (the "Open Season"). The Open Season commenced March 13, 2012 and closed on May 4, 2012. Details of the Open Season can be found below.
Incremental requirements on Union Gas' Dawn to Parkway system arising from the Open Season can be satisfied through the expansion of physical facilities on the system, through existing turn back, or through a reduction in the current contractual commitments with existing shippers. Consequently, in order to maintain the most efficient use of the Union Gas transportation system, while minimizing the overall costs to our shippers, Union Gas is conducting this reverse open season. We are soliciting interest from current shippers on the Dawn to Parkway system that want to turn back capacity on the Dawn to Kirkwall, Dawn to Parkway and Kirkwall to Parkway paths before the end of their primary contract term.
Your cooperation in completing the letter attached to the downloadable Open Season Package will help to accommodate Union Gas’ planning schedule. To be eligible to turn back capacity, requests must be received prior to 2:00 pm EDT on June 4, 2012. Union Gas will review requests to turn back capacity and acknowledge all requests received by 2:00 pm EDT on June 5, 2012. If a request is accepted, with or without conditions, we will notify the capacity holder accordingly no later than nine months in advance of the turn back date. Requests will be ranked and accepted according to lowest Net Present Value. For example, a contract with two years remaining on the primary term would be accepted ahead of a similar contract with five years remaining on the term. Any and all turn back requests will be binding upon the transportation contract holder and conditional upon Union Gas executing contracts for new capacity with all conditions within those contracts being satisfied or waived, for capacity commencing November 1, 2014 or November 1, 2015.
Dawn to Parkway/Kirkwall transportation Shippers who currently have an option to provide notice of termination on their existing transportation contracts by October 31, 2012, and who wish to turn capacity back to Union Gas, (in whole or in part), may either elect to provide notice in this Reverse Open Season (preferable), or they may wait and provide notice by October 31, 2012 as per the renewal provisions in their contract.

Responding to customer requests, Union Gas is pleased to announce an extension to the current Open Season. Union Gas has revised the service offering to add capacity to Maple in 2014 and a minimum 10-year term requirement. In order to give all interested parties time to re-evaluate this opportunity, the closing date for this Open Season has been extended. The Open Season now closes at 12:00 p.m. EDT (noon) on Friday, May 4, 2012.
The Parkway Extension Project offers transportation service on a proposed new pipeline from a new interconnect near the Union Gas Parkway Compressor station, to a new interconnect with the TransCanada Pipelines Limited transmission system at or near Maple, Ontario. Union Gas is also conducting a concurrent open season on the Dawn to Parkway system to provide capacity to the new pipeline. Service on the new Dawn to Maple corridor would commence as early as late 2014.
The Parkway Extension Project will provide firm transportation capacity of over 500 TJ/d from Parkway to Maple.
