Each numbered item below should be copied and appear at the top of a page with your information below.
Provide the following information:
| 1. | A map of the boundaries of the geographic area and a description of the geographic area in which gas is to be distributed. |
| 2. | The geographic positioning data based on WGS 84, in a shapefile format compatible with ArcGIS, for the distribution network and the proposed geographic area boundaries. |
| 3. | A description of the facility, adequately specifying the pipelines to which the application relates. This must include key design codes to demonstrate technical feasibility and a detailed map, at a scale acceptable to the Energy Regulator, indicating the proposed: |
| (a) | pipeline network lay-out; |
| (b) | design capacity and pressure of each pipeline; |
| (c) | length of each pipeline; |
| (d) | diameter of each pipeline; |
| (e) | material composition of the pipeline e.g. steel or HDPE; |
| (f) | average and maximum operating pressures; |
| (g) | location of each pressure protection and reduction station; |
| (h) | details including the location and capacity of any storage facilities interconnected to the distribution network; and |
| (i) | point(s) of receipt and delivery of gas. |
| 4. | A mechanical flow diagram for the facility. |
| 5. | Proof of financial viability of the facility, including: |
| (a) | commercial structure; and |
| (b) | proposed or actual (if already operating) financial statements and/or discounted cash flow (DCF) model (providing assumptions used in calculations and sourcing of figures); |
| (c) | the status and/or proof of equity financing agreements and finance including terms and conditions; and |
| (d) | other incidental costs (please specify whether legal, consulting etc). |
| 6. | Details of the gas source, including |
| (a) | a copy of an independent reservoir engineer's assessment of proven and recoverable gas reserves in trillions of cubic feet and the basis for the reserves determination; and |
| (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. |
| 9. | Details regarding the following matters during the various stages of the project's development: |
| (a) | investment plans and the schedule of implementation; and |
| (b) | timelines for service commencement. |
| 10. | Provide a copy of the maintenance policy (and plans) for the facility. |
| 11. | If the applicant is Sasol Limited or its subsidiary, evidence of compliance with clauses 3, 4, 6 and 8.3 of Schedule One to the Agreement. |
