Our portfolio also includes a mixture of structured products designed to take advantage of both upside and downside price opportunities • Utilize Market Area Storage: Jackson Prairie • Arranging for supplemental resources to replace Plymouth LNG this heating season • Considering additional storage opportunities for future years at Ryckman Creek and other regional facilities • Effectively Manage Wholesale Prices - • Through Cost-Effective FOM and Day Gas Purchases • By Participating in USA and Canadian Pipeline Rate Filings and Forums • By Optimizing Pipeline Capacity and Other Core Resources through available release mechanisms (capacity release, asset management agreements)

  7. November 2014 through October 2015 Gas Supply Outlook and Strategies • Peak events unlikely to occur based on most recent weather predictions • Cascade has sufficient firm supply arrangements on firm transportation to meet load requirements • Incremental firm peaking and citygate delivery contracts are being considered to enhance the resource options this heating season • Jackson Prairie Storage accounts will be full by September 30, 2014 • We will continue to use fixed-price physical supplies to minimize impact of price fluctuations • Continual assessment of portfolio and market to seek out opportunities to minimize portfolio costs in accordance with directives from Cascade’s Gas Supply Oversight Committee
