The Corporation has estimated the future cost of decommissioning certain natural gas facilities. Revised estimates for decommissioning storage facilities are based on internal information from current projects and insights from internal geological and storage engineering professionals, which have led to changes in the assumptions regarding future retirement costs. For the purposes of estimating the fair value of these decommissioning obligations, it is assumed that the costs will be incurred between April 1, 2025 and March 31, 2114. The undiscounted cash flows required to settle the obligations total $791 million (2024 - $659 million). Discount rates between nil per cent and 4.3 per cent were used to calculate the carrying amount of the obligation (2024 - nil per cent and 4.8 per cent). No funds have been set aside by the Corporation to settle these obligations. 17.
