TIME TO STRETCH YOUR PROPANE DOLLAR

        On top of the pipeline rate increase we are fighting with our tariff protest, in its unending drive to raise prices on the transport of propane so that the smaller shipper will be priced out and pipeline transport will be the preserve of the majors, Enterprise has hiked terminal charges over 50%. These are the charges that a shipper pays after it has paid for the use of the pipeline to get its propane from where it was put into the pipeline, the Point of Origin, to where it picks up the propane, the Destination. These charges are not part of any tariff, so have no government oversight, since the terminals are not owned by the pipeline, but by Enterprise Terminals and Storage. Government oversight over the terminal fees ended when Enterprise was allowed to spin off all its terminals last year, claiming that the terminals were not part of the pipeline, despite the fact that the only way the pipeline could be used at all was by means of those terminals.
