Clean Up
Clarifications to the sale and purchase of operational gas
Negotiated commodity, fuel, and surcharges for capacity releases
Discretionary waivers
Coming soon
Section 4 restructuring
All concepts have had support and have been approved by FERC on other pipelines such as Columbia Gas
Transmission
Providing more flexibility for contracting available capacity
Lining up MPCs Section 4 with other previously accepted Section 4s
Mapping of changes coming soon
Spot pricing
New rate schedules LFT (lateral firm transport), LIT (lateral interruptible transport)
Customer meetings, conference calls to discuss all filings

Valley Lateral Project Description

7.9 Mile 16 Lateral to CPVs


Proposed 650 MW Combined Cycle
Power Plant
Reduces regional dependency on older
less efficient power plants
Improves electric pricing for New York
energy consumers

Competitive Power Ventures is the


sole customer

New market directly attached to Millennium up to 127,200 dth/d

Connecting communities to cleaner energy 26


Valley Lateral Project Regulatory Status
We anticipate a FERC order on Valley
Lateral in October
Construction will be conditioned on receipt of
Clean Water Act authorizations
NYSDEC decision on MPCs 401 Water
Permit due by Nov. 23, 2016
We have met all Clean Water Act standards
Valley Lateral Project vs Constitution
Also greenfield, but much smaller - 7.8 miles of
16-inch pipeline
Will cross most streams and wetlands by
trenchless method
Will serve gas fired generation facility that
received air/clean water permits from NYSDEC

ESU Project Overview

Connecting communities to cleaner energy 28


Eastern System Upgrade (ESU)

Increases capacity between Corning and Ramapo by


approximately 220,000 Dth/day
Customers are Northeast Utilities
Customers are seeking diversity of supply
Increased supply at Ramapo benefits both New York
and New England energy consumers
Ramapo is a major supply point for New York State
utilities and power plants

Millennium will be posting the remaining capacity shortly


20,500 Dth

Outlook for ESU Project
FERC Authorizations
Filed July 29, 2016 after six months in pre-filing;
July 2017 approval requested.
Initial comments on ESU at FERC relatively light.
NYSDEC Authorizations
Need air and 401 Water Permits from NYSDEC.
NYSDEC must act on MPCs 401 Water Permit by July 2017.
No statutory deadline for action on air permits.
ESU vs Constitution
7.8 miles of looping along existing ROW
Adding compression at existing station; also constructing new station
Market pull

Break
Regulatory Update
Georgia Carter
We Operate in Interesting Times

FERC at a crossroads
Under fire from environmentalists
Down to three Commissions
Two Republican vacancies
Impacts of a new administration?
Natural gas facing political challenges in NY
Will air and water permits be issued?
What is happening with the Constitution litigation?
At issue: How broad is a states authority under the Clean
Water Act?
What does this mean for Millennium projects?

Connecting communities to cleaner energy 35


NY Regulatory Environment for 2016 Projects
Difficult year in New York for natural gas projects.
NYSDEC rejected Constitutions 401 Water Permit on Earth Day.
Constitution immediately appealed the NYSDEC rejection to the 2 nd
Circuit.
Briefs filed in September & October; oral argument set for Nov. 16.
NYSDEC has not acted on air permits for Iroquois & Dominion
projects
Both have had FERC approval for months.
No deadline for states to act on Clean Air Act applications.
NGA gives pipelines a remedy at the DC Court of Appeals for a
states failure to act.
Iroquois has filed at DC Court of Appeals to compel NYSDEC action
Dominion has not pursued a remedy in court at this time.
Uncertainty over 401 Water Permits pending at NYSDEC.
Clean Water Act requires state action no later than 1 year after
application.
NYSDEC decision on Algonquins Atlantic Bridge 401 Water Permit
due 11-18-16 and on MPCs Valley Lateral Project on 11-23-16.
The next 12 months will tell us a lot.
