| Classification of Pipeline | Transmission |
| Nameplate rating | 120TJ/d |
| Receipt points (and key facilities to which they connect) | Tipton Daandine Windibri B1PL-B2PL interconnect |
| Delivery points (and key facilities to which they connect) | Condamine RBP Braemar Power Station (See diagram 1.1 below) |
| Technical or physical characteristics which may affect access, use or price of the services | Firm flows available to condamine RBP are dependant on compressor performance, temperatures & BBPL/RBP Pipeline pressures. 2 Compressors are available to flow gas to Condamine, but one is designed as backup. |
| Any policies of the service provider which may affect access to, use or price for services (e.g. queuing requirements, receipt or delivery point change policy, metering and measurement policy) | Please refer to terms in our Standard Gas Transportation Agreement and User Access Guide. Braemar User Access Guide including interconnection policy and agreement |

| The methodology used to calculate the standing price, the inputs used in the calculation of the standing price and any other information specified in the pipeline information disclosure guidelines. | Braemar Pipeline Tariff has been calculations based on a "Building Blocks Approach". Please refer to tariff inputs & calculations spreadsheet linked below for full details on inputs & pricing methodology. Braemar Tariff Methodology & Inputs |
| Further Transporter notes: | The Braemar pipeline primarily services gas demand to run the Braemar Power Station. Transport services and capacity may change depending on the Power Station's forecast demand, gas supply contracts & associated transport requirements. - Standing prices may differ from current transport contracts and reflect a range of considerations specifically negotiated with customers. E.g. other agreements such as Gas Supply Agreements, term & other conditions |
