Utilities Commission Box 250, 900 Howe Street Vancouver, B.C. V6Z 2N3 Our ref: LNA6.2.001.E.K.001.01M Date: 18 th December 2012 FortisBC Energy Inc. Application for Amendment to Rate Schedule 16 – LNG Sales and Dispensing Service Dear Ms. Hamilton, We would like to submit the following comments in support of FortisBC Energy Inc. Application for Amendment to Rate Schedule 16, Liquefied Natural Gas Sales and Dispensing Service. Liquiline North America is a newly formed company specializing in Liquid Natural Gas infrastructure distribution technologies. The company’s office is based in Vancouver, with the company’s head office in Bergen Norway. The company is a leader in the provision of infrastructure in LNG and gas markets and has been involved in a large number of projects in Europe. We are involved in small volume LNG distribution projects in Western Canada involving the displacement diesel for off grid communities, industrial power generation (mines), and transportation (land, rail and marine) segments. Customers who would like to make the switch to LNG are dependent on a secure supply of LNG. FortisBC, with their existing facilities in Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island are one of the few supply points on the West Coast which is suited to supply these potential new customers. I strongly believe that approval of FortisBC Application for Amendment to Rate Schedule 16 will benefit a wide new domestic customer base in BC providing a more cost effective and environmentally friendly fuel. Our position is to the support the following; 1) Increasing volume allotment enabling customers to off take the required volume of LNG to meet their requirements. E-8

 FortisBC Energy Inc. Application for Amendment to Rate Schedule 16 – LNG Sales and Dispensing Service  Dear Ms. Hamilton,   We would like to submit the following comments  in support of FortisBC Energy Inc. Application for Amendment to Rate Schedule 16, Liquefied Natural Gas Sales and Dispensing Service.  Liquiline  North  America  is  a  newly  formed  company  specializing  in  Liquid  Natural  Gas infrastructure distribution  technologies. The  company’s office  is based  in Vancouver, with  the company’s  head  office  in  Bergen  Norway.  The  company  is  a  leader  in  the  provision  of infrastructure  in LNG and gas markets and has been  involved  in a  large number of projects  in Europe.    We  are  involved  in  small  volume  LNG  distribution  projects  in Western  Canada  involving  the displacement  diesel  for  off  grid  communities,  industrial  power  generation  (mines),  and transportation (land, rail and marine) segments. Customers who would  like to make the switch to LNG are dependent on a secure supply of LNG.   FortisBC, with their existing facilities in Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island are one of the few supply points on the West Coast which is suited to supply these potential new customers.    I strongly believe that approval of FortisBC Application for Amendment to Rate Schedule 16 will benefit  a  wide  new  domestic  customer  base  in  BC  providing  a  more  cost  effective  and environmentally friendly fuel.   Our position is to the support the following;

2) Provision  of  Long‐Term  and  Short‐Term  LNG  Service  on  a  firm  basis  rather  than  an interruptible service will help potential natural gas users make the transition to natural gas and invest in the necessary infrastructure. 

3) LNG tanker truck load‐out addition to FortisBC Mt Hayes facility and dispensing LNG from that facility by trucks to commercial customers broadens the supply base.   

The LNG industry is BC’s newest industry and there is great benefit to being able to successfully use this resource base. However in order to support this new industry we need to have increased availability and supply of LNG into the market.   BC will  benefit  from  developments  in  infrastructure  and  also  achieve  environmental  benefits associated with the wider use of natural gas. As this business expands and develops there will be a greater benefit to BC in terms of jobs and adjacent business opportunities to support this new industry.   Liquiline North America  supports  FortisBC Rate  Schedule 16 Application  in  terms of providing Liquefaction capacity and LNG into new markets.   Yours sincerely, 

  Calum McClure      President, Liquiline North America      Liquiline LNG Solutions Corporation
