OFO DAILY CRITICAL DAY 1 EXPANDED EFFECTIVE 10-26-2024

 

Due to forecasted milder temperatures with lesser demand moving across most of the system along with current storage levels and in an effort to protect system integrity and firm service obligations, effective for the Gas Day of Saturday, October 26, 2024, and until further notice, Tennessee is ESCALATING the current OFO Daily Critical Day 1 for all of Zones 4, 5 and 6 to include all of the following areas:

 

All of Zone 0

Zone 1 on the 100 Line (from STA 40 to STA 87)

All of Zone 2

All of Zone 3

All of Zone 4

All of Zone 5

All of Zone 6

 

This OFO will be in effect for all Balancing Parties (including LMS-PA, SA contracts acting as balancing parties, LMS-MA, and LMS-PL balancing parties).  This action is pursuant to Article X, Section 4 of the General Terms and Conditions of Tennessee's FERC Gas Tariff. 

 

All delivery point operators in the above referenced areas are required to keep actual daily takes out of the system equal to or greater than scheduled quantities regardless of their cumulative imbalance position.  All receipt point operators in the above referenced areas are required to keep actual daily receipts into the system equal to or less than scheduled quantities regardless of their cumulative imbalance position. Customers will be assessed a rate of $5.00 plus the applicable Regional Daily Spot Price per dekatherm for that portion of physical quantities related to under-takes by delivery point operators and over-deliveries by receipt point operators which exceed 2% of scheduled quantities or 500 Dths, whichever is greater. 

 

THIS DAILY OFO CRITICAL DAY 1 WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.  

 

TENNESSEE WILL INFORM CUSTOMERS BY EBB WHEN THIS OFO WILL BE LIFTED.

 

Tennessee would like to remind all operators/agents of power plants directly connected to TGP of certain parameters of FERC Order 698 requirements. Tennessee requires that all power plant operators submit burn profiles and nominations prior to gas flow. Due to very limited flexibility, power plant operators are encouraged to burn ratably based on scheduled volumes. The burn profiles should be sent to TGPGasControl@Kindermorgan.com. The latest burn profile template can be found by accessing the Tennessee web site and following the steps below.

In the event this OFO is not sufficient to maintain the operational integrity of the system, Tennessee may escalate to a Critical Day 2, Balancing Alert, Meter Specific OFO(s) or Hourly OFO(s). Tennessee cannot accept unscheduled imbalances and requires all customers to nominate and schedule all payback requests.  Payback nominations will be evaluated at each cycle and scheduled only if operational feasible.

 

Tennessee will deem all affected Shippers to be in compliance with the actions specified in the Daily Critical Day 2 OFO if after the measurement close the actual system conditions were opposite to the conditions for which this OFO was issued.
