SaskEnergy is also the parent of Many Island Pipe Lines (Canada) Limited (MIPL), a federally regulated pipeline company. By legislation, TransGas, a provincially regulated body, holds the exclusive right to transport natural gas in Saskatchewan. TransGas offers firm and interruptible receipt and delivery transportation service on its pipeline system within Saskatchewan (the TransGas System) through the TransGas Energy Pool (TEP) under the terms of the TransGas Comprehensive Tariff (Tariff). TEP is a notional energy pool model which splits the transportation service into receipt and delivery components and allows customers to contract separately for and hold either or both receipt and delivery transportation service. TransGas offers transportation service from the NOVA Inventory Transfer (NIT) market hub to TEP, known as “NIT to TEP”. Under NIT to TEP, TransGas contracts for capacity on the NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. System to move gas onto the TransGas System (using the Mainline, MIPL or the Foothills System) and is responsible for managing flow of gas to optimize system operation and minimize net costs. End users match their daily receipt and delivery demands at TEP within a daily tolerance level. There are currently more than 1,200 receipt and delivery points on the TransGas System. TransGas is connected to natural gas supply from Alberta through the Mainline, MIPL, and the Foothills System, all of which are used by TransGas to serve load requirements in Saskatchewan. Currently, TransGas holds contracts for gas supply from Alberta of approximately 160 TJ/d moving to 300 TJ/d on the Mainline, 170 TJ/d moving to 312 TJ/d on MIPL and 298 TJ/d on the Foothills System. As the exclusive natural gas transporter in Saskatchewan, TransGas contracts with these interconnecting import pipeline systems on behalf of its customers which, as it relates to receipt and delivery on the TransGas System, do not hold cross-border transportation contracts in their own names. This streamlines contracting for both the customer and TransGas and is a critical aspect of TransGas’ operation. TransGas has contracted capacity on the NGTL system that, from 2018 to 2022, increases by approximately 400 TJ/d of incremental supply. This supply is required on a firm basis for the TransGas System to serve its customers. TransGas, and its affiliates, have significant experience with the design, construction, management and operation of natural gas systems. Tolls, design and capacity on the NGTL system directly or indirectly affects TransGas operations and planning, operations and planning for its affiliates SaskEnergy and MIPL, and transmission and distribution end users in Saskatchewan. TransGas respectfully requests that the Board grant intervenor status.
