Subject: RE: Union T1 Contract Cases (EB-2008-0253 & EB-2008-0264)
Please find below the responses to Board Staffs questions regarding the storage applications for Fort Chicago (EB-2008-0253) and East Windsor Cogen (EB-2008-0254). Please note that the forecasts and contract parameters used to calculate the storage parameters are confidential and have only been sent to the Board.
Fort Chicago
The Fort Chicago cost-based storage space allocation of 156,725 GJ was calculated using the Board approved aggregate excess methodology (EB-2007-0725).
The consumption forecast and storage allocation calculation are noted below.

The Deliverability for Fort Chicago is determined by the Board approved calculation Firm Contract Demand DCQ = Deliverability (EB-2007-0725). The calculation for Fort Chicago is:
CD = 5,424 GJ (144,180 m*3/day)
DCQ = 1701 GJ + 98 GJ = 1799 GJ
Deliverability = 5,424 1799 = 3,625 GJ
East Windsor Cogen (EWC)
The EWC cost-based storage space allocation of 156,725 GJ was calculated using the Board approved 15 X DCQ methodology (EB-2007-0725).
The following monthly consumption forecast (000s GJ) was used to calculate the DCQ for EWC:

The total annual consumption for EWC = 2,981,000 GJ.
The DCQ for EWC = 2,981,000 / 365 = 8,167 GJ / day
The storage allocation = DCQ x 15 = 8,167 GJ / day = 122,490 GJ (rounding)
The customer elected to receive 1,200 GJ of deliverability.
If you have any questions please contact me.

Hi Chris,
This is further to our conversation earlier today.
Based on the pre-filed evidence provided for the subject applications, the storage parameters are as follows:
Fort Chicago Contract
EB-2008-0253
East Windsor Cogen Contract
EB-2008-0264
Storage Space (GJ)
156,725
100,000
Deliverability (GJ per Day)
3,625
1,200
Based on our conversation, I understand that the above values were determined using the following formulas:
Storage Space = Total Winter Consumption (151/365) x Total Annual Consumption (i.e. the aggregate excess method)
Deliverability = Contract Demand Obligated Daily Contract Quantity
The following information/clarification is needed:
Please confirm that the above formulas were used in the calculations and that this is consistent with the Board-approved methods in the Storage Allocation decision (EB-2007-0725).
Please provide details of the calculations that resulted in the space and deliverability values shown above.
Please provide a response by Monday September 29, 2008, addressed to the Board Secretary with a copy to me.
Thanks
