Capital Costs of Interconnect

• Piping costs are estimates with contingencies included (site visit done) • Station costs include contingencies • FEI considers this a conservative estimate at +5% / -20%

Item

Description Distribution Pressure, PE Pipe,

residential area, piping on GVS&DD Property

Station Capital Cost Estimate $639,000

Pipe Capital Cost Estimate $100,000

Connecting Pipe $300/m

Est. Cost per GJ-station and Pipe (based on expected flow, 20 year) $0.92/GJ

• GVS&DD retains any GHG benefits on excess gas

• New supply point on FEI system

• Will be tracked separately

• FEI purchases Max 60,000 GJ per year excess gas

• FEI purchase a total of ~0.275 TJ/day*

• No material impact to MCRA (~150 TJ/day)

* 100,000 GJ / 365 days – includes total amount of gas purchased (biomethane + excess gas)

Approved Pilot Program Criteria

• All contracts are at least 10 years in Length

• FEI has retained control over injection location

• The selected upgrader is sufficiently proven

• FEI reserves the right to refuse gas

• The partner is a municipality, regional district, or other public authority, or is a private party with a track record in dealings with FEI or that posts security to reduce the risk of stranding
