Marcellus/Utica shale basin dwarf the other North American basins 9
Shale Gas Revolution • A drill bores into the ground ~1.5 – 3.0 km below the water table • A water and sand mixture forced down the hole at high pressure causing fractures • Gas escapes through the fractures and travels up a pipe

Dawn - A Significant Storage and Trading Hub
• Highly liquid trading hub – Over 100 companies active on an annual basis – 2nd largest physically traded hub in North America – Largest integrated storage facility in Canada (292 PJ)
• Connected to all major supply areas but needs more connections to Marcella/Utica producing region • Growing to meet growing markets Economic and operational advantages for sourcing gas at Dawn 19

IROQUOIS: 2014 $66.69 2015 $13.70 BOSTON: 2014 $67.29 2015 $15.91
DAWN: 2014 $15.81 2015 $3.83 NEW YORK: 2014 $95.73 2015 $18.53
Well connected Dawn Hub shows a significant price advantage Need to ensure it remains well connected 20
Expansion of Natural Gas System to Rural and Northern Communities • Escalation in energy prices for other fuels is creating unprecedented interest in conversion to natural gas • Union has had requests from a number of municipalities
• December, 2013 Provincial Long term Energy Plan commitment • In 2014 Province announced intent to fund via $230 M in municipal grants and loans
Average Ontario Estimated Annual Cost of Energy (annual average use of 82 GJ) $3,500 $3,000 $2,500 $2,000
Natural Gas: Less than half the cost of other fuels!

Summary • Marcellus/Utica represents a tremendous opportunity for Ontario • Ontario is investing heavily in infrastructure to support growing natural gas supply and demand • Dawn is a highly liquid natural gas trading hub
• Dawn storage increases reliability of natural gas service • Ontario must take full advantage of economic energy opportunities available now through support of pipeline connections to new pipelines Pipeline expansion from Marcellus/Utica will drive economic growth in Ontario
