At September 30, 2014, UGI Utilities is a party to four principal storage contract administrative agreements (“SCAAs”) having terms of one to three years. Pursuant to SCAAs, UGI Utilities has, among other things, released certain storage and transportation contracts for the terms of the SCAAs. UGI Utilities also transferred certain associated storage inventories upon commencement of the SCAAs, will receive a transfer of storage inventories at the end of the SCAAs, and makes payments associated with refilling storage inventories during the terms of the SCAAs. The historical cost of natural gas storage inventories released under the SCAAs, which represents a portion of Gas Utility’s total natural gas storage inventories, and any exchange receivable (representing amounts of natural gas inventories used by the other parties to the agreement but not yet replenished), are included in the caption “Gas Utility natural gas” in the table above. As of September 30, 2014, UGI Utilities has principal SCAAs with Energy Services and a non-affiliate. The carrying values of gas storage inventories released under SCAAs with non-affiliates at September 30, 2014 and 2013, comprising 3.9 billion cubic feet (“bcf”) and 0.6 bcf of natural gas, was $16.8 and $2.4, respectively. Effective November 1, 2014, UGI Utilities entered into a new SCAA with Energy Services having a term of one year.
