| (b) |
gas production program to supply gas for the project; |
OR
| (c) |
copy of the gas importation agreement. |
| 7. |
Details of any existing and/or potential customers for the proposed facility, including: |
| (a) |
the names and physical addresses of existing customers, |
| (b) |
the names and physical addresses of potential customers, |
| (c) |
for each customer, the average or anticipated gas consumption in Gigajoules; |
| (d) |
categorization of each customer, for example as a reticulator and small, medium or large user; |
| (e) |
the gas price per Gigajoules (to be) charged to each customer; |
| (f) |
the cost of the gas to be distributed per Gigajoules, as well as any transmission and distribution tariffs and any other charges; and |
| (g) |
copies of any supply agreements with (potential) suppliers and customers. |
| 8. |
Demonstrate the ability to supply present and future potential customers at competitive prices and conditions. This must include a 10 year development plan to install a pipeline network allowing access to gas by potential customers and showing annual commitments for the installation of pipelines. |
