NGTL GP Ltd., as general partner on behalf of NGTL Limited Partnership (collectively “NGTL”), is holding a binding offering for Service under Rate Schedule FT-R for receipt of gas to Receipt Points (“FT-R”) in Segment 4 GRDL, as a result of new expansion Facilities (“Expansion Service”).

Targeted service commencement date:     April 1, 2031

Term: 20 Years (consisting of a minimum 5 year Primary Term with the remaining term to be restricted Secondary Term) for applicable locations on the North Montney Mainline (“NMML”) and 8 years (consisting of a minimum 5 year Primary Term with the remaining term to be Secondary Term) for applicable locations not located on NMML.

Commencement of Service will be based on NGTL’s determination of expansion facility readiness.

How To Participate:

The Service Offering will commence on June 16, 2026 at 10:00am Mountain Time (“MT”) and close on July 21, 2026 at 10:00am MT (“Offering Closing”).

Prospective customers may participate in the Service Offering as follows:

  1. Prospective customers shall submit a completed and executed Service Offering request form (“Service Offering Request Form”) which can be accessed through this link. A completed and executed Service Offering Request Form must be sent by email to ab_ft_openseason@tcenergy.com prior to the Offering Closing.
  2. The following conditions will govern how prospective customers may request service. Failure to meet these conditions will result in all the prospective customer’s Service Offering Request Forms being rejected:
  1. Prospective customers must submit only one Service Offering Request Form per eligible location. While prospective customers may submit more than one Service Offering Request Form if more than one eligible location is desired, the total of all requests from a prospective customer, including requests from Affiliates[1], shall not exceed the Expansion Service being offered.
  2. If an FT-R request for service requires new customer specific facilities, the Requested Minimum Contract Demand in the Service Offering Request Form must be equal to or greater than 142 103m3/day and may not exceed the total Expansion Service being offered.
  1. All Service Offering Request Forms submitted are irrevocable and binding after the Offering Closing.  NGTL may accept revisions to requests before the Offering Closing at NGTL’s discretion and the last Service Offering Request Form received for the eligible location will be deemed to be the final Service Offering Request Form.  Requests are deemed to be received at the time the last Service Offering Request Form was received before the Offering Closing.
  2. Prospective customers must follow and complete all steps of the Deposit Process noted below.

Service Offering Allocation Process (“Allocation Process”)

Step 1:

  1. If the aggregate requested contract demand is less than the Expansion Service offered, NGTL will allocate the requested contract demand to all requests.
  2. If the aggregate requested contract demand exceeds the Expansion Service offered, NGTL will determine if the aggregate minimum contract demand of all requests can be met. If the aggregate minimum contract demand of all requests can be met, NGTL will allocate the minimum contract demand to all requests and any remaining service above the minimum contract demand of requests will be redistributed proportionately to all requests that have not been allocated their requested contract demand.
  3. If the aggregate minimum contract demand of all requests cannot be met, NGTL will allocate service on a pro rata basis using the requested contract demand of each request (“Pro-Rationing”). If Pro-Rationing results in service to be allocated that is below the minimum contract demand as set out in such Service Offering Request Form, that request will not be allocated service. Pro-Rationing will repeat until all service is fully allocated or no further requests can be allocated through Pro-Rationing.

Step 2:

If there is unallocated service and unallocated requests following Step 1, it will be allocated using a first come, first served basis (“First Come First Served Allocation”), where remaining service is allocated first to the earliest request received whose minimum contract demand can be met, and in chronological order thereafter until no service or no requests remain. In the event multiple requests are received by NGTL between 10:00am and 11:00am MT on June 16, 2026 (the “60 Minute Window”) that can be allocated above their minimum contract demand, a lottery of those requests received in the 60 Minute Window will be used to allocate requests. If there is service remaining following the First Come First Served Allocation that cannot be allocated to any unallocated requests due to the minimum contract demand specified in the Service Offering Request Form, NGTL may provide prospective customers with unallocated requests the opportunity to revise their minimum contract demand to maximize the amount of service awarded in the Service Offering.

Requests allocated service in the Allocation Process will be subject to conditions noted below in the section “Awarding Expansion Service” and not considered awarded service until such time as a Project and Expenditure Authorization (“PEA”), Service Agreement (if required) and Schedule of Service have been issued to the prospective customer.

Deposit Process

Within 2 Banking Days of the Offering Closing, prospective customers, except those who are also customers receiving Service, other than Service under Rate Schedule IT-S or Rate Schedule FT-X, shall provide to NGTL for each request form submitted, a deposit equal to the lesser of:

  2. $350,000.

The deposit, if provided, shall be refunded to unsuccessful requesters, including those requesters whose requests were rejected for failing to comply with the service offering conditions set out above, within 5 Banking Days from the date the agreements are executed for all Service Offering Expansion Service.

Awarding Expansion Service:

NGTL anticipates providing notice to allocated Service Offering requesters as soon as possible following the Offering Closing. The award of service pursuant to an allocated request will be subject to NGTL’s evaluation of facilities required for provision of service, both customer specific and otherwise. To the extent a prospective customer’s request requires new or modified customer specific facilities and/or further expansion facilities, as determined by NGTL in its sole discretion, NGTL reserves the right to withdraw the allocation of service prior to the issuance of a PEA, Service Agreement (if required) and Schedule of Service and return any deposits or financial assurances provided, even if the allocation of service meets or exceeds the Requested Minimum Contract Demand.

Upon receipt of the PEA, Service Agreement (if required) and Schedule of Service, successful requesters will have 5 Banking Days to return executed documents and 10 Banking Days to satisfy Financial Assurance requirements as set out in the above section “Deposit Process”. The amount of Financial Assurance that NGTL may request from the successful requester will be:

  1. for customers requiring new or modified customer specific facilities or modifications to existing facilities, an amount payable to NGTL under the PEA of the estimated costs and expenses of such customer specific facilities; or

 

  1. if no new or modified customer specific facilities or modifications to existing facilities are required, then an amount payable to NGTL under the Schedule of Service for a period of 70 Days.
