NIT to TEP Service Update
Additional Cost Recovery – Effective August 1, 2023
TransGas’ NIT to TEP Service is for receipt points that initiate at Nova Inventory Transfer (NIT) with TransGas being responsible to contract and transport natural gas through the Nova Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) system in Alberta.
Customers utilizing this specific service are:
- Charged TransGas’ standard receipt transportation rates; and
- Subject to an Additional Cost Recovery (ACR) charge related to the transportation of gas to the Saskatchewan border.
The ACR charge to recover from customers utilizing the NIT to TEP Service effective August 1, 2023 has decreased from last quarter as outlined below:
| Service Type | Term | Demand Charge (per GJ/D per month) | Commodity Charge (per GJ) | Updated Rate 100% Load Factor Equivalent (Per GJ) | Previous Rate 100%LF Equivalent (per GJ) |
| Long Term Firm | 1 - 2 years | $6.6544 | - | $0.2188 | $0.2189 |
| 3 - 4 years | $6.3217 | - | $0.2078 | $0.2079 | |
| 5+ years | $5.9890 | - | $0.1969 | $0.1970 | |
| Short Term Firm | $6.6544 | - | $0.2188 | $0.2189 | |

| High Priority Interruptible | $0.2407 | $0.2407 | $0.2408 |
These charges are based on actual historic costs, historic liquid credits and third-party contracting costs (including NGTL delivery rate changes). TransGas will continue to review and update the ACR charge on a quarterly basis to minimize any cumulative imbalance between costs and recoveries.
Information related to the current ACR charge in effect from August 1, 2023 to October 31, 2023 and historical ACR charges can also be found on the TransGas website under Additional Cost Recovery.
