The Cuiaba Integrated Project consists of four companies (GOM, GOB, TBS, EPE) that on an integrated basis operate a power plant in Brazil, purchase natural gas in Bolivia and transport it through pipelines to Brazil for use as a fuel in the generation of electrical energy at the power plant. See fact sheet for Cuiaba- EPE for a description of the power plant. GOM operates an 18-inch gas pipeline in Brazil, which is interconnected to the GOB pipeline at the Bolivia-Brazil border, to transport natural gas from the border to the Cuiaba - EPE power plant. In March 1999, GOM was granted a license by the Brazilian National Petroleum Agency to operate the GOM pipeline and to provide gas transportation services within Brazil. GOM has a gas transportation agreement with TBS with a 25-year term ending in 2027. GOB operates an 18-inch gas pipeline in Bolivia to transport natural gas from the pipeline interconnection with GOM to the Bolivian portion of the BBPL. GOB's gas transportation business is a regulated public service in Bolivia and is governed by a number of laws, regulations and a 40-year concession ending in May 2039. GOB has a gas transportation agreement with TBS with a 25-year term ending in 2027. TBS is a gas shipper that purchases natural gas, arranges for transportation of the gas, including through GOB and GOM, and sells the gas to EPE. Because GOM and GOB pipelines run through environmentally sensitive parts of Brazil and Bolivia, GOM, GOB and affiliates of AEI have agreed to contribute $20 million over a 15-year period to the Chiquitano Forest Conservation Project in Bolivia.
