  6. Facilities • 2,000-mile, 36” diameter pipeline system traverses Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan • MAOP 974 psi • 14 compressor stations with combined 450,000 hp • Over 60 receipt and/or delivery points

  7. Forwardhaul or Backhaul • Forwardhaul: bringing Western Canada Sedimentary Basin gas to the Midwest and Ontario • Backhaul: supplying Manitoba, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan markets from Dawn or Chicago hubs • Currently no fuel charges

  8. In Michigan Bluewater Gas Storage Consumers Energy Detroit Edison (via SEMCO) MCV MichCon SEMCO WEPCo Interconnects Interconnects directly with TransCanada, Northern Natural, ANR, as well as: In Minnesota • Minnesota Energy Resources • City of Duluth, MN • Otter Tail Power In Wisconsin • NSP/Xcel • Superior WL&P

  9. Supply Options • Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin • via TCPL at Emerson • Chicago hub supply • via ANR at Fortune Lake and Farwell • Dawn hub supply • via TCPL at St. Clair

  10. Storage Access • Northern MI • 130 Bcf working gas • Central MI • 289 Bcf working gas • Southeast MI • 219 Bcf working gas • Dawn, Ontario • 240 Bcf working gas

  11. Eastern Zone Storage Access

  12. Michigan Production • Production region • Goose Creek & Jordan Valley • 100 MMcf/d metering capability • 105 Bcf production in 2006* • Hudson • Richfield *Michigan Public Service Commission. Annual gas production summary.

  13. Services • Great Lakes offers a full menu of transportation services • Standard FT Service (long-term, short-term, daily, intra-day) • Limited Firm • Interruptible • Seamless service (off system capacity) • Market Center services
