The OEB has assigned a separate docket number (EB-2020-0181) for “Phase 2” of the 2021 Rate Application.

With this Application, Enbridge Gas is seeking Board approval for ICM funding for three projects in 2021 – the St Laurent NPS 12 Replacement in the EGD rate zone, and the London Line Replacement Project and the Sarnia Industrial Reinforcement Project in Union rate zones. Collectively, these projects are referred to as the “2021 ICM Projects”. The ICM evidence including the appendices are filed as Exhibit B, Tab 2, Schedule 1.2

Also, in accordance with the Board’s directive in the MAADs Decision3, Enbridge Gas is filing a consolidated Utility System Plan (including an Asset Management Plan and a Customer Engagement Study) for the ICM requests with this Application. The Utility System Plan is filed as Exhibit C, Tab 1, Schedule 1. The Asset Management Plan and the Customer Engagement study are filed as Exhibit C, Tab 2, Schedule 1 and Exhibit C, Tab 3, Schedule 1 respectively.

APPROVAL REQUESTS
