This presentation will provide a utilities perspective to connecting stakeholders to the utility distribution system.  Stakeholders include residential, commercial and agricultural customers; local gas supply and most recently renewable natural gas.  Considerations which the utility must balance include a) cost effectiveness, b) reliability and security of supply and c) Public Policy objectives. EPCOR considers the system's long term demand forecast in order to appropriately contract for gas supply, storage and upstream pipeline capacity in developing its supply plan.  The supply plan is filed with the Ontario Energy Board is intended to provide strategic direction that will guide EPCOR's ongoing decisions related to its natural gas portfolio such that the utility is able to meet Peak Day, seasonal, and annual demand throughout the winter and summer periods for customers in a cost effective manner.
