TCPL and Stakeholders Closer to Partial Settlement

TCPL and the Stakeholders have been meeting regularly since January and are
close to a partial two year toll settlement along the following lines
acceptable to TCPL:

Cost of Capital and ROE - to be litigated in NEB Rate Hearing
Operations, Maintenance and Administration Costs - 2001 = $223M 2002 =
$216.5M
Depreciation - 2001 2.76% (increase of 0.1%) 2002 = 2.91% (approx $60M
over two years)
Authorized Overrun Service of 2.5% of FT credited to IT services
Employee Severance costs amortized over 3 years
Revenue Sharing to be capped at $5M
New Services to be tariffed and run through expedited Tolls Task Force
Process. If opposed at TTF, sponsors can file application with NEB.
IT Floor = greater of 80% of FT toll or sum of incremental marginal fuel cost
pus FT Commodity toll plus 5% of daily FT demand toll
STFT - status quo
AECO/ANR Storage - TCPL commitment to review monetization and disposition
options on 8 bcf this year

In terms of an Eastern Zone toll and prior to taking into account any
increase for higher cost of capital, this represents about CDN$1.10/GJ in
2001 and $1.15 in 2002 (assuming discretionary revenue of $40M/year).

Going around the table most stakeholders, including the LDCs and CAPP gave it
unenthusiastic support although IGUA and Centra Man indicated they have
strong problems with AOS if it is run as a credit to IT services. El Paso
and PGE were non-commital and may end up opposed. Representing Enron, I
expressed concern about the lack of clarity around what marginal fuel costs
mean but indicated we would unlikely to be opposed (i.e prepared to litigate)
if it was otherwise widely supported.

TCPL is to draft agreement language for distribution next week.

Any questions let me know.
