4 Introducing Jette Gebhart, Senior Policy Advisor to Chairman Cheryl LaFleur

5 Cove Point LNG Export Authorization Fourth LNG Export Approval Granted by FERC. Permits export from Cove Point terminal in Maryland of up to 5.75 metric tons of LNG/year. Targeted completion of Maryland Liquefaction facilities: June Construction of related Virginia facilities targeted to begin in 2016 and enter service by March Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP 5

6 Contention Over Cove Point During 2-year approval process, FERC heard from 140 speakers at 3 public meetings related to Environmental Assessment. Received > 650 comments from the public and federal and state local agencies on the application. July 14, 2014 protesters hauled off in handcuffs. Balance of Environmental and Economic. LNG price in Japan 3-4x U.S. Price Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP 6

7 Evolving Capacity Markets LaFleur said capacity markets also need to evolve and suggested that need has become more apparent given the changes occurring in the power industry, including in the generation resource mix in response to the growth of natural gas and renewable generation, new environmental regulations and other factors. Boshart, Glen, FERC s LaFleur details possible need for capacity markets, enforcement process to evolve (SNL, Aug. 12, 2014) (paraphrasing Chairman LaFleur) Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP 7

8 New England Capacity Markets The ISO-New England (ISO-NE) Forward Capacity Market (FCM) plays a vital role in ensuring reliability in New England. The FCM auction (the Forward Capacity Auction or FCA) is the mechanism that ensures future system reliability by procuring capacity resources sufficient to meet New England s resource adequacy needs.... This is especially important in light of the current capacity situation in New England, where for the first time the region is facing an overall capacity shortage and the FCM must procure new resources in order to satisfy New England s reliability needs. Statement of Chairman Cheryl A. LaFleur, ER (Sept. 16, 2014). Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP 8

9 Coordination Between Gas and Electric Questions related to gas/electric interdependency highlight one of the central issues we face as federal regulators whether to encourage regional solutions, or act to promote national solutions. We learned in the comments and in the technical conferences that certain gas/electric issues varied sharply by region, while others were more national. Thus, both regional and national actions are called for. Statement of Commissioner Cheryl A. LaFleur, AD12-12 (Nov. 15, 2012) Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP 9

10 Heavy Investment in Natural Gas Half of power plant capacity additions in 2013 came from natural gas, U.S. Energy Information System (April 8, 2014), available at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP 10

11 Changes to Enforcement Policy? LaFleur said she is open to considering possible reforms to the agency's enforcement processes.... LaFleur also acknowledged that enforcement is a relatively new area of FERC's work. As such, a lot of things are cases of first impression, things are happening for the first time, and it's normal that there would be debate about it. Boshart, Glen, FERC s LaFleur details possible need for capacity markets, enforcement process to evolve (SNL, Aug. 12, 2014) (paraphrasing Chairman LaFleur) Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP 11

12 CFE s Natural Gas Transportation Strategy & the Energy Reform October 8th, 2014.

13 T a b l e o f C o n t e n t s 1. Mexico s Energy Reform and the CFE 2. Mexico s Natural Gas Transportation System (Plan 2028) 3. Pipeline Biddings in the U.S. (Waha, TX.)

14 1. Mexico s Energy Reform and the CFE The new law forces the monopoly to reorganize itself horizontally and not vertically. Private firms will be able to participate in the power generationstrengthening the competitiveness of the market. An independent power system operator is created (CENACE) and placed outside of CFE. An independent natural gas pipeline system operator is created (CENAGAS) and placed outside of CFE. A new power and fuel market will flourish upon the mid-term. 14

15 2. Mexico s Natural Gas Transportation System (Plan 2028) All natural gas projects of CFE are designed as long-term transportation projects: To expand and reinforce Mexico s natural gas pipeline network utilized for generation of electric power and industrial usage. To improve Mexico s natural gas supply chain. To offer all Mexican end users a wider range of opportunities to meet their natural gas consumption needs at competitive prices. 15

21 3. Pipeline Biddings in the U.S. (Waha, TX.) As a result of the Energy Reform, and the competitiveness that the market will require for power generation, CFE requires natural gas transportation systems with reliable and diversified sources of supply. Today, Mexico s natural gas supply is concentrated in the Northeastern-Gulf side of the country, which brings limited flexibility and supply options. The development of alternate routes along the border between the U.S. and Mexico will strengthen market capabilities and will help to improve operational margins. 21

22 3. Pipeline Biddings in the U.S. (Waha, TX.) Waha San Elizario (November 2014) Development, construction and operation of a Header CFE Waha Header for Bcf/d, with at least 10 interconnects to existing pipelines near the Waha Hub area that supply at least 130% of the maximum aggregated capacity of these pipelines (130%*2.825 Bcf/d). Development, construction and operation of a pipeline with capacity of Bcf/d from CFE Waha Header to United States Border with Mexico near San Elizario, Texas. C.O.D. : January 2017 Diameter: 42 Capacity (MMCFD): 1,475 Length (approx) : 225 Miles MAOP (psig): 1,440 Border crossing and permits to interconnect with a future pipeline that runs from San Isidro to Samalayuca, both located in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico. Minimum pressure of delivery at the international border at 1,145 psig. 25-year Transportation Service Agreement ( TSA ). At the end of the agreement, CFE and the Transporter will enter into a Joint Venture agreement and CFE shall own 49% of the equity. Fiber optic lines that will service the telecommunication needs of the pipeline, which will run parallel to it. Design, development, construction and operation of the Fiber Optic Lines must be included in the tariff of the TSA.

23 3. Pipeline Biddings in the U.S. (Waha, TX.) Waha Presidio (November 2014) Development, construction and operation of a pipeline with capacity of Bcf/d from CFE Waha Header to United States Border with Mexico near Presidio, Texas. Border crossing and permits to interconnect with a future pipeline that runs from Ojinaga to El Encino both located in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico. Minimum pressure of delivery at the international border at 1,160 psig. C.O.D. : March 2017 Diameter: 42 Capacity (MMCFD): 1,350 Length (approx) : 145 Miles MAOP (psig): 1, year TSA. At the end of the agreement, CFE and the Transporter will enter into a Joint Venture agreement and CFE shall own 49% of the equity. Fiber optic lines that will service the telecommunication needs of the pipeline, which will run parallel to it. Design, development, construction and operation of the Fiber Optic Lines must be included in the tariff of the TSA.
