National Energy Board approves new tolls for TransCanada’s Mainline pipeline

CALGARY – The National Energy Board approved a new toll plan for TransCanada’s (TSX:TRP) Mainline on Wednesday that will help the natural gas pipeline compete.

The board set the firm transportation toll from Empress, Alta., to Dawn, Ont., at $1.42/GJ, compared with a 2013 toll of $2.58/GJ.

“The board approved multi-year fixed tolls that are competitive and provide TransCanada with a reasonable opportunity to recover its Mainline costs, given the increase in Mainline throughput that is forecast,” the board said in a statement.

“These fixed tolls also provide toll certainty and stability to shippers and better allow the Mainline to compete.”

The tolls are expected to remain in effect through 2017.

In approving the toll, the regulator also set the pipeline’s return on equity at 11.5 per cent on a 40 per cent equity ratio and an incentive mechanism that would increase profits if annual net revenues are higher than forecast.

The NEB also approved several changes sought by TransCanada including proposed changes to the Mainline’s cost allocation, and the elimination of toll zones and the elimination of the risk alleviation mechanism.

However, the regulator also denied a number of other proposals by the company, citing that they resulted in “inappropriate cost shifting.”
