Tennessee Gas Pipeline Notice 392842

OFO DAILY CRITICAL DAY 1 DOWNGRADED TO AN OFO DAILY ACTION ALERT EFFECTIVE 11-20-2024

 

Due to forecasted cooler temperatures moving across most of the system, effective for the Gas Day of Wednesday, November 20, 2024, and until further notice, Tennessee is DOWNGRADING the current OFO Daily Critical Day 1 for the following areas to an OFO DAILY ACTION ALERT:

 

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

 

This OFO will be 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 3 of the General Terms and Conditions of Tennessee's FERC Gas Tariff. 

 

All delivery point operators 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 are required to keep actual daily receipts into the system equal to or less than scheduled quantities regardless of their cumulative imbalance position.  In addition, it is essential that delivery point operators schedule gas at meters commensurate with takes within the affected areas.   All LMS-PA, SA contracts acting as balancing parties, LMS-MA and LMS-PL Balancing Parties are required to maintain an actual daily flow rate not exceeding 5% of scheduled quantities or 10,000 dths, whichever is greater for over-deliveries into the system and under-takes from the system. Customers will be assessed a rate of $.2198 per dekatherm for that portion of physical quantities related to over-deliveries into the system by receipt point operators and under-takes from the system by delivery point operators which exceed this tolerance.

 

THIS DAILY OFO ACTION ALERT 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 1, 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 OFO Action Alert if after the measurement close the actual system conditions were opposite to the conditions for which this OFO was issued.
