Re:          Update on Sales of Fuel for Electricity Costs

Section 35.5 of the General Terms and Conditions of the SNG FERC Gas Tariff sets forth how SNG will account for gains and losses on the sale of transportation fuel retained to satisfy the cost of electric compression.  First, SNG calculates the dth available for sale each month by dividing the eligible electric costs by the prescribed index price for that month. These dth are subsequently sold. SNG then determines the difference between the sales proceeds and the cost of electricity used for electric compression during the applicable Summer or Winter Base Period.  If the net difference is positive, then within 80 days after the end of the applicable Base Period, SNG will provide shippers a monetary credit on their bills based on the calculation set forth in the tariff.  If the difference is negative, then it is recorded in the applicable Winter or Summer Deferred Electricity Losses Account and such amount is carried over to the next Winter or Summer Base Period, as applicable.

This mechanism was placed into effect under the Rate Case Settlement approved in Docket No. RP13-886.  As shown below, the difference for the most recent Summer Base Period of April 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024 is $2,749,763.  Per the terms of Section 35.5(2) in the Tariff, 85% of this total gain, which is $2,337,299, will be credited among the SNG customers' bills that are sent out around December 10, 2024.  The total credit is allocated pro rata among the Shippers based on each Shipper's volume of gas retained for transportation fuel compared to the total volume of gas retained from all Shippers for transportation fuel during the Summer Base Period of April 1, 2024 through September 30, 2024.
