8.5 Monthly Imbalances: The LMS-MA Balancing Party's monthly
imbalance shall be the net total of daily variances from all
points covered by the LMS-MA Balancing Party's OBA(s) adjusted for
make-up quantities and imbalance trades, with the exception that
monthly imbalances created on that portion of Transporter's system
not designated as an Incremental Lateral shall not be netted
against monthly imbalances created on that portion of
Transporter's system designated as an Incremental Lateral. For
supply aggregators under Rate Schedule SA, the daily variance
shall be the difference, by Pooling Area, between actual
deliveries under the Supply Aggregation Service Agreement and the
actual quantities received at all points covered by such
Agreement. In addition, unless Transporter and the Balancing
Party mutually agree to correct the imbalance in kind on a
nondiscriminatory basis, each Month Transporter and the Balancing
Party shall "cashout" any imbalance between Scheduled Quantities
and actual deliveries. Transporter shall divide the lesser of the
monthly imbalance based on Operational Data or the actual monthly
imbalance by the total scheduled volumes for the Month for all
applicable points, then multiply by 100, to determine the %
monthly imbalance.
(a) If the monthly imbalance is due to an excess of Scheduled
Quantities relative to actual deliveries, then the monthly
imbalance shall be considered a "positive" imbalance and
Balancing Party shall sell to Transporter, and Transporter
shall buy from the Balancing Party, in accordance with the
formula listed in Section 8.5(c) below. If the monthly
imbalance is due to an excess of actual deliveries relative
to Scheduled Quantities, then the monthly imbalance shall be
considered a "negative" imbalance and Transporter shall sell
to the Balancing Party, and Balancing Party shall buy from
Transporter, in accordance with the formula listed in
Section 8.5(c) below. In addition to the cash out of the
monthly imbalance: (A) Balancing Party shall pay to
Transporter the "Transportation Component" if total actual
quantities delivered are greater than Scheduled Quantities,
or (B) Transporter shall pay to the Balancing Party the
"Transportation Component" if total actual quantities
delivered are less than Scheduled Quantities. The
"Transportation Component" shall be equal to (1) the
commodity rate pursuant to Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company's
Rate Schedule FT-A for transportation from Tennessee's Zone
1 to Transporter's system multiplied by the monthly
imbalance plus, (2) Transporter's commodity rate under Rate
Schedule FT-A, FT-GS, or FT-L, as applicable, multiplied by
the monthly imbalance, plus (3) an additional amount to
cover Transporter's cost of gas for the system fuel and use
and lost and unaccounted for gas. The additional amount
shall be calculated by multiplying (1) the amount of fuel
necessary to transport the imbalance on the systems of both
Tennessee and Transporter by (2) the Average Price as
defined in Section 8.5(c)(i) below.
