Steps for Service
Once it is determined that natural gas service is desired, what is the process for obtaining the service?
Step 1: Service Request Form/Interconnect Data Sheet
Requesting party should complete a service request form and an interconnect data sheet. Eastern Shore will use the information provided therein to design initial facilities and evaluate the initial project economics. A confidentiality agreement may also be entered into if desired.
Step 2: Execute Precedent Agreement
Execute Precedent Agreement, binding ESNG and the requesting party for the service requested.
Step 3: Appropriate regulatory filing with FERC
ESNG will determine what regulatory filings and approvals are necessary based on the nature of the service requested.
Step 4: FERC and other party review
After the appropriate filing is made, it will be subject to FERC review as well as to review by ESNG’s existing shippers.
Step 5: Construction of facilities / service agreement
Once the appropriate regulatory approvals are received, construction of any new facilities required will begin. During this time, a service agreement binding ESNG and the requesting party to the transaction will be executed (this supersedes the Precedent Agreement).
Step 6: Service Commences
Once construction is complete and the service agreement is executed, natural gas service commences.
