Subpart 1.
Information required.
Each applicant for a coal slurry or coal liquids pipeline shall provide five years of historical energy data, as well as a forecast of demand through the forecast years. If the proposed pipeline is designed primarily to provide energy for the applicant's own use, data shall be submitted in response to subpart 2. If the proposed pipeline is designed primarily to transport or distribute energy to be used by others, data shall be submitted in response to subpart 3.
Subp. 2.
Own-use pipeline.
The applicant shall submit the following information about its historical and projected use of energy products:
A.
for each of the energy products that would be transported by the proposed facility, the amount of that product consumed by the applicant during each of the five preceding calendar years;
B.
the amounts of any other energy products consumed by the applicant during each of the five preceding calendar years;
C.
the amounts of those energy products named in response to items A and B that were consumed at the applicant's Minnesota locations;
D.
for the first six forecast years, the 11th forecast year (the tenth year after the year of application), and the 16th forecast year, the projected demand by the applicant for each of the energy products named in response to items A and B and the projected demand for each at the applicant's Minnesota locations;
E.
a discussion of the methodology, statistical techniques, and data bases used in providing the forecast data required by item D;
F.
any major assumptions made in providing the forecast data required by item D, and a discussion of the sensitivity of the projections to changes in the assumptions; and
G.
any other known large energy facilities that may be constructed during the forecast years for use by the applicant.
Subp. 3.
Energy to be used by others.
The applicant shall submit the following information about its transportation and distribution of energy products:
A.

B.
for each energy product listed in response to item A, the annual and peak-day quantities transported or distributed for each of the five preceding calendar years in the appropriate units of measure;
C.
a list of sources of supply of energy products for transportation or distribution during the five preceding calendar years, designated as either in-state or out-of-state, the dates and durations of the contracts with the suppliers or shippers, and the quantities of each energy product involved;
D.
for each of the five preceding calendar years and for each energy product, the percentage of in-state delivery of the annual amounts given in response to items A to C;
E.
a list of each storage facility, pipeline, or other major facility owned or operated by the applicant and associated with the transportation and distribution of the energy products given in response to item A, and the average percentage of use of each such facility during the summer season and during the winter season;
F.
a list of the energy products the applicant expects to transport or distribute in its service area during the first six forecast years, the 11th forecast year (the tenth year after the year of application), and the 16th forecast year, and the annual and peak-day quantities expected in the appropriate units of measure;
G.
a discussion of the methodology, statistical techniques, and data bases used in providing the forecast data required by item F;
H.
a discussion of the methods, assumptions, and factors employed for purposes of estimation in response to item F;
J.
any other known large energy facilities that may be constructed during the forecast years for use by the applicant.
