Identification and support for any peak day methodology utilized to project future gas demands and any studies supporting the validity of such methodology.
National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation's ("Distribution") projected 2015
peak day gas demands under an extreme temperature scenario can be found
on page 4. The calculations and supporting documentation can be found on
pages 5 through 31.
An extreme peak day analysis is performed by Distribution for allocating costs
to customer classes as well as for capacity planning. Use of the term "extreme
peak day", by Distribution, refers to a calculated level of gas usage based on the
day in a winter season that has the highest number of degree days, i.e., the day
with the lowest average temperature for which Distribution plans gas supplies
and pipeline capacity. A peak day, in contrast, is an historical day of greatest
gas usage in a winter period, which may not have occurred on the coldest day
of the year. The peak may not occur on the coldest day of the year for several
reasons. For example, if the coldest day was not a business day and many
businesses were not operating, the peak day might not be the coldest day.
Data for extreme days of 74 degree days are provided because this level of
degree days was used for extreme peak day planning purposes as explained in
PGC Exhibit No. 24. Based on the experience of the most recent 30 years, the
Pennsylvania Division has experienced extreme degree days of 74. Therefore, it
is realistic to expect similar extreme days to occur in the future.
In addition to planning for a degree day level of 74 degree days, other factors
that affect capacity planning were considered such as the volatility of gas price.
In as much as there is a relationship between gas price .and usage, this gas price
volatility is a concern for capacity planning. Distribution needs to retain
capacity in order to serve additional requirements expected due to a decline in
current gas prices. In addition, an adjustment was made to account for the
standard error of the regression .

Pages 5 through 15 are the workpapers to compute the extreme peak day
requirements. Page 5 shows the base case extreme peak day calculation. For
the heat sensitive classes (both retail sales and transportation service),
residential, commercial, public authority and Small Volume Industrial Service
Distribution utilizes a method of extracting a base load volume and I
computing a daily heating volume for the temperature used in the extreme
peak day analysis (74 degree days). The daily base load volume is added to
the daily heating volume to determine the base case peak day sales. Gas
usage of customers in the industrial classes; Intermediate Volume Industrial
Service, Large Volume Industrial Service, Large Industrial Service and Daily
Metered Large Manufacturing Transportation Service generally is not sensitive
to temperature, therefore, the extreme peak day sales are computed based on
an operating schedule. For the Intermediate Volume Industrial Service class,
Distribution utilizes an operating schedule of 21 working days in a month . For
the Large Volume Industrial Service, Large Industrial Service and Daily Metered
Large Manufacturing Transportation Service classes, Distribution utilizes the
actual operating schedule of each individual company, as shown on pages 8 and
9. The extreme peak day Company Use represents an average day.
Page 6 shows the monthly requirements used to develop the extreme peak
day. Page 7 shows the winter seasonal retail requirements for 2014-2015. The
methodology employed to project the level of requirements is similar to the
methodology used in Distribution's last base-rate proceeding docketed at R-
00061493.
Pages 8 and 9 show the peak day calculation forthe LVIS, LIS and DMLMTS
classes. Gas usage of customers in the LVIS, LIS and DMLMTS categories
generally is not sensitive to temperature, therefore, the peak day sales are
computed based on the customer's operating schedule. Pages 8 and 9
calculate peak day sales by customer using each individual operating schedule.
For example, customer 1 on PGC Exhibit No. 15, page 8 operates 3 shifts, 6 days
per week. Customer l 's peak day consumption of 912 Mcf is equal to 23,458
Mcf of monthly consumption divided by an operating schedule factor of 25.7
days ((6 days per week multiplied by 4.286 weeks (30 days divided by 7 days in
the week)). Customer 2 operates 3 shifts, 7 days a week. Customer 2's peak
day consumption of 497 Mcf is equal to 14,902 Mcf of monthly consumption

PGC Exhibit No. 15 Page 3 of 31
divided by an operating schedule factor of 30 days ((7 days per week multiplied by 4.286 weeks (30 days divided by 7 days in the week)).
Page 10 shows the calculation of the peak day capacity adjustment. The peak day
capacity adjustment includes an adjustment for price changes (through the price
elasticity) and model error. Pages 11-12 show the calculation of the price
elasticities for the residential and commercial classes. These adjustments reflect
the estimated increase in consumption if the projected gas price decreased 30%.
The current methodology uses the degree day coefficient from the econometric
model (Column B) multiplied by 74 degree days for a Heat per Account (Column D).
The price elasticity shown in Column E is multiplied by the 30% price decrease
(Column F) to compute the usage per account due to a 30% price decrease (Column
G). The price elasticity adjustment shown in Column I is the result of multiplying
Column G by the projected number of accounts in Column H. The need for the price elasticity effect is to recognize that actual prices may be different from those
forecasted in the Company's study. Actual prices may result in different
consumption behavior by customers than forecasted. Since the consequences of
having inadequate capacity are so severe, the Company believes it is reasonable to include a price elasticity adjustment in the peak day calculation.
The peak day estimate included in this proceeding is based on a statistical
econometric forecast model. The peak day estimate using such models is therefore, subject to statistical uncertainty. Pages 13 through 15 show the
calculation of the standard error of the regression models for the residential I
commercial and public authority classes, respectively. The Company believes that
it is important to recognize this statistical uncertainty in its peak day planning. The
standard error adjustment recognizes that there is a range around the peak day
projection. By using the standard error adjustment, the Company is 95% certain
that the actual peak day at 74 HOD will not exceed projected usage. The Company believes, for peak day planning, that the high end of the range be used since the
consequences of inadequate supplies on extremely cold days would be detrimental for customers and the Company.
Pages 16 through 20 show the residential variables, pages 21 through 25 show the commercial variables and pages 26 through 30 show the public authority variables used in the econometric models. Page 31 shows the extreme degree days for the most recent 30 years.
