7 Gas Natural Fenosa in Puerto Rico: EcoEléctrica Gas Natural Fenosa is a committed long term investor in Puerto Rico since 2003, when it acquired a major stake in the EcoEléctrica complex. Part of the GNF acquisition on the EcoElectrica project was the Tolling Service Agreement (the TSA ). GNF replaced Enron s in the TSA as Customer THE TOLLING SERVICE AGREEMENT: The TSA provides GNF with the exclusive rights to all the excess storage and forwarding capacity at EcoElectria LNG terminal as well as the rights to add more capacity in such facilities. ECOELÉCTRICA: LNG fired 540 MW Combined Cycle power plant LNG terminal with a storage capacity of 150,000 cubic meters (possibility to built a second storage tank and double this capacity) Located in Peñuelas, in the south of Puerto Rico Supplies about 15% of the Island's energy needs San Juan Peñuelas 7

8 Gas Natural Fenosa in Puerto Rico: new business project The important financial crisis that is affecting Puerto Rico challenges the country to look for incentives to boost economic activity. Natural gas, currently not available in Puerto Rico, is necessary to improve the competitiveness of different industrial sectors in the island. The capability of natural gas distribution in Puerto Rico will allow to take advantage of this fuel availability in the US. The substitution of contaminating fossil fuels by natural gas will result in less emissions of green house gases and other environmental benefits which are required to ensure observance of environmental regulations. Road transportation, as an alternative to a pipeline distribution system, is a well known technology used worldwide to distribute natural gas, with excellent LNG safety records. The high energy costs in Puerto Rico stimulate the demand for natural gas not only to substitute other fuels used in industrial processes but to develop CHP (Combined Heat and Power) systems. The storage capacity available in the Ecoelectrica LNG terminal provides a good guarantee of supply. 8

10 Truck Loading Facility: Aim of the project GNF has the aim of developing the natural gas market in the island. To achieve this idea GNF is planning to build a LNG Truck Loading Facility next to EcoElectrica s site. Natural Gas represents the new alternative to the local energy sector The scope of these facilities will allow the supply of natural gas to users located in areas where there is no access to gas pipelines (currently, the whole country) Natural gas will be transported by trucks as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), supplied directly from the 150,000 m 3 EcoElectrica LNG storage tank LNG is received at user Satellite Plants in order to be vaporized and consumed. In the mid term, the GNF target will be the Natural Gas distribution to residences and commerce. GNL GNL GNL GNL GN GN GNL 12

14 PR LNG Regulators DTOP is taking all natural gas regulation under Its jurisdiction by Law 149 of September 2014 Artículo Los deberes del Secretario de Transportación y Obras Públicas serán:.. (6) Regular a toda empresa, persona natural, persona jurídica y negocio, independientemente de la forma en que se haya constituido, que fuere dueño, controlare, explotare o administrare cualquier tubería en Puerto Rico que se utilice en relación con, o para facilitar la transmisión, almacenaje, distribución o entrega de cualquier producto mediante ésta. (7) Regular la transmisión, distribución o entrega de gas natural por tubería, así como la importación, producción, generación, transmisión, entrega, suministro o distribución de gas natural, elaborado, derivado o cualquier líquido susceptible de convertirse en gas natural y distribuido por tubería, cilindro o cualquier tipo de envase. Además tendrá el deber de velar y exigir el cumplimiento de sus normas y reglamentos, y de las normas y reglamentos del Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration del Departamento de Transportación de Estados Unidos de América o sus sucesores, por parte de las empresas, negocios y personas naturales o jurídicas regulados al amparo de este inciso, a tenor con los acuerdos interagenciales correspondientes.. Artículo 4.-El Secretario de Transportación y Obras Públicas establecerá, mediante Orden Administrativa, una oficina, sección, división o directorado de regulación de empresas de conducción por tubería y gas natural, la cual podrá ser establecida como unidad administrativa independiente adscrita a dicho Departamento, o como parte de algún programa o iniciativa dentro de éste.

15 Regasification station at Customer site CODE USE: NFPA 59A

16 Regasification station at Customer site: bulk tank in austenitic stainless steel according to ASME SA240 Type304 Carbon steel: ASME SA516 Gr.70N CODE USE: ASME Sec VIII Div-1 with U Stamp + Mandatory appendix-44 (Cold stretching)

17 Regasification station at Customer site: LNG Transportation and discharge at customer site LNG trailers built in the US comply with the Department of Transportation s design standards DOT CFR49 specifications 49 CFR parts and (MC-338). This standard is used for trailers carrying cryogenic liquids, such as LNG, liquid nitrogen and liquid oxygen, from manufacturers who specialize in supplying such equipment.

18 LNG Telemetry system Each one of the Gas Station at customer site: 1. Is being monitored 24/7 via telemetry system. 2. Key readings are Tank level - Tank pressure and temperature of the system. 3. With these readings dispatching is planned for the truck to arrive at or before tank level reaches 30%. 4. If any of these critical parameters readings are out of normal set-points a communication with customer is established an service people is dispatched to correct the malfunction.

20 LNG logistics in hurricane season: When a TS/hurricane warning for PR is declared the following steps are to be followed: 1. Refill all customer tanks up to maximum allowed one week prior to event hits PR. 2. During the event all communications must remain open with customers and authorities to follow path and determine potential affected areas and if operation at customers will be interrupted. 3. After the event passed PR close examination of the affected areas and establish alternate routes to reach each one of our customers sites. 4. Communicate to customers any damage that may affect the supply of LNG. 5. If normal route is affected comment on the potential new route and time effect if any to the new distribution path for natural gas supply. 6. Declare back to normal operation statement to each customer.
