Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 13, September 23, 2024
Subpart
1.
Information required.
Each applicant for a coal slurry or coal liquids pipeline
shall provide five years of historical energy data, as well as a forecast of
demand through the forecast years. If the proposed pipeline is designed
primarily to provide energy for the applicant's own use, data shall be
submitted in response to subpart
2. If the proposed pipeline
is designed primarily to transport or distribute energy to be used by others,
data shall be submitted in response to subpart
3.
Subp. 2.
Own-use pipeline.
The applicant shall submit the following information about
its historical and projected use of energy products:
A. for each of the energy products that would
be transported by the proposed facility, the amount of that product consumed by
the applicant during each of the five preceding calendar years;
B. the amounts of any other energy products
consumed by the applicant during each of the five preceding calendar
years;
C. the amounts of those
energy products named in response to items A and B that were consumed at the
applicant's Minnesota locations;
D.
for the first six forecast years, the 11th forecast year (the tenth year after
the year of application), and the 16th forecast year, the projected demand by
the applicant for each of the energy products named in response to items A and
B and the projected demand for each at the applicant's Minnesota
locations;
E. a discussion of the
methodology, statistical techniques, and data bases used in providing the
forecast data required by item D;
F. any major assumptions made in providing
the forecast data required by item D, and a discussion of the sensitivity of
the projections to changes in the assumptions; and
G. any other known large energy facilities
that may be constructed during the forecast years for use by the
applicant.
Subp. 3.
Energy to be used by others.
The applicant shall submit the following information about
its transportation and distribution of energy products:
A. a list of the energy products transported
or distributed in its service area during each of the five preceding calendar
years;
B. for each energy product
listed in response to item A, the annual and peak-day quantities transported or
distributed for each of the five preceding calendar years in the appropriate
units of measure;
C. a list of
sources of supply of energy products for transportation or distribution during
the five preceding calendar years, designated as either in-state or
out-of-state, the dates and durations of the contracts with the suppliers or
shippers, and the quantities of each energy product involved;
D. for each of the five preceding calendar
years and for each energy product, the percentage of in-state delivery of the
annual amounts given in response to items A to C;
E. a list of each storage facility, pipeline,
or other major facility owned or operated by the applicant and associated with
the transportation and distribution of the energy products given in response to
item A, and the average percentage of use of each such facility during the
summer season and during the winter season;
F. a list of the energy products the
applicant expects to transport or distribute in its service area during the
first six forecast years, the 11th forecast year (the tenth year after the year
of application), and the 16th forecast year, and the annual and peak-day
quantities expected in the appropriate units of measure;
G. a discussion of the methodology,
statistical techniques, and data bases used in providing the forecast data
required by item F;
H. a discussion
of the methods, assumptions, and factors employed for purposes of estimation in
response to item F;
I. a discussion
of the sensitivity of the forecast to changes in the assumptions; and
J. any other known large energy facilities
that may be constructed during the forecast years for use by the
applicant.
