Evergreen - 25 Year costs related to 18,256 Dth per day of vintage capacity are not included. The total cost of service related to the vintage capacity is approximately $1.7 million.
The information contained on this page excludes regulatory assets. See FERC Form 2, page 232 - "Other Regulatory Assets (Account 182.3)" for this additional information.
This project has an additional incremental fuel rate. We retained 106,035 Dth of gas from our shippers in 2024.
Northwest uses the Fixed Asset Method to report storage.
This account captures storage encroachments on Northwest’s fixed asset system balancing gas recorded in account 117.2. Northwest debits 808.1 and credits 117.4 for any net shortage of supplied gas and debits 117.4 and credits 808.2 for any net excess of supplied gas.
The gas inventory balance is classified to account 164.1. Gas is withdrawn from this account for expansion projects and to replace gas lost or used during maintenance work.

Adjustment for ACA Purposes:
The volumes in column (c) include volumes received from storage and transported under Northwest’s TF-2 Firm Redelivery Transportation service and other firm and interruptible transportation services to redeliver gas stored in (1) the Jackson Prairie Storage Project under Rate Schedules SGS-2F, SGS-2I or PAL, and (2) the Plymouth LNG Facility under Rate Schedules LS-2F or LS-2I. Northwest assesses the ACA surcharge on all transportation volumes that are delivered into the Jackson Prairie Storage Project and the Plymouth LNG Facility. Consequently, the ACA surcharge should not be assessed on volumes a second time when they move out of storage. The (1) TF-2 Redelivery Transportation volumes reported on Page 305, Line 4, Column (j) and (2) other 2024 firm and interruptible transportation volumes of 40,564,578 Dth redelivered from the Jackson Prairie Storage Project and the Plymouth LNG Facility should be excluded for ACA billing purposes from the volumes reported on Page 520, Line No. 5, Column (c). The ACA volume that should be used for ACA billing purposes is 924,758,501 Dth (i.e., 924,758,501 Dth (Total Dekatherms, page 305 column j) - 8,592,077 Dth (TF-2, page 305 column j, line 4) - 31,972,501 Dth (TF-1 Storage Re-deliveries transported from storage).
Gas of Others Received for Transmission represents scheduled receipt nominations net of in-kind fuel. The volumes shown do not impact the overall page 520 system gas balance because the differences between scheduled receipt nominations and actual physical receipts are captured in the 806 imbalances and are included in the numbers shown on lines 10 and 25 of page 520. The in-kind reimbursements are shown on lines 13 and 14.
Gas of Others Received for Contract Storage represents scheduled withdrawal nominations by others as shown on page 307. The volumes shown do not impact the overall page 520 system gas balance because the differences between scheduled storage withdrawal nominations and actual physical storage receipts onto the mainline are captured in the 806 imbalances shown on lines 10 and 25.

Northwest books its fuel usage, reimbursements and imbalance activity on a month lag. However, at year end Northwest also books the actual December activity. Therefore, the first quarter of the year will only contain two months of activity and the fourth quarter of the year will contain four months of activity so that the year-to-date numbers reflect 12 months of activity.
See footnote on line 13, col. (c). Because of this procedure, the "Current 3 Months” column includes four months of activity in order to conform to Northwest’s books.
Deliveries of Gas Transported by Others represents scheduled delivery nominations. The volumes shown do not impact the overall page 520 system gas balance because the differences between scheduled delivery

The numbers shown on this page include any fuel usage and in-kind reimbursements associated with transmission and storage rate schedules.
Northwest records its fuel usage, reimbursements and imbalance activity on a month-lag. However, at year end Northwest also records the actual December activity. Therefore, the first quarter of the year will only contain two months of activity and the fourth quarter of the year will contain four months of activity so that the year-to-date numbers reflect 12 months of activity. Therefore, the “Month 3” columns include two months of activity in order to conform to Northwest’s books.
The numbers shown on this page are derived by taking the total volume of throughput and allocating it among the three contract categories (i.e. contracts with discounted rates, contracts with negotiated rates, and contracts with recourse rates) based on the percentage of gas transported for each contract type.
Northwest does not discount fuel.
Any monthly excess or deficiency of gas is refunded or collected in-kind through Northwest’s semi-annual fuel filing process.
