Alliance Canada
NATURAL GAS TRANSPORTATION
Enbridge Income Fund has a 50% interest in the Canadian portion of the larger Alliance System, which includes the Alliance Canada and Alliance U.S. pipelines, and which transports natural gas from supply areas in northwestern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia to delivery points near Chicago, Illinois.
Alliance Canada
- consists of approximately 1,560 kilometres of the Alliance System, beginning near Gordondale, Alberta and connecting to Alliance U.S. at the Canada/U.S. border near Carnduff, Saskatchewan
- includes the Alliance System’s lateral pipelines, which connect the mainline to a number of upstream receipt points, primarily at natural gas processing facilities in northwestern Alberta and northeastern British Columbia, and related infrastructure
- the Alliance System is designed to transport 1,325 million cubic feet per day of natural gas on a firm basis
- shippers have firm transportation service agreements (TSAs) with both Alliance Canada and Alliance U.S., which have an initial 15-year term expiring in November 2015, and which provide for 98.5% of the Alliance System’s available firm transportation capacity. The TSAs are designed to provide Alliance Canada with a steady and predictable cash flow stream through 2015.
