TRANSPORTATION GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
10. IMBALANCE MANAGEMENT (continued)
10.2(f) Imbalance Trades (continued)
(v) Only trades which have the effect of reducing
outstanding imbalances owed to or from Transporter are
permitted (i.e., the maximum quantity which may be
traded is the smaller of the excess or shortfall under
the Shipper's end-of-month imbalance affected by the
trade).
(vi) If a Shipper's imbalance is less than the amount it has
agreed to trade with another Shipper, the Shipper will
only be credited for the actual amount of the imbalance.
(vii) Transporter shall permit trade arrangements at no
additional cost to the Shippers.
(g) DP Operators who have entered into operational balancing
agreements ("OBAs") with Transporter that include the same
cash out and Strained/Critical Operating Condition provisions
as detailed in Sections 10 and 11.1 will be able to make use
of the imbalance resolution opportunities, i.e. trading and
physical make-up/paybacks, described in Sections 10.2(d) and
10.2(f). Such DP Operators do not include Operators of
Delivery Points where Transporter is required to have an OBA,
i.e., interstate pipelines and applicable intrastate pipelines
or foreign pipelines that are the functional equivalent of an
interstate or intrastate pipeline.
(h) Prior Period Measurement Adjustment(s) ("PPMA")
(i) In the event a PPMA decreases a Shipper's current
monthly imbalance, the PPMA shall be applied in the
current Month.
(ii) In the event a PPMA increases a Shipper's current
monthly imbalance, the PPMA shall be applied in the
Month following the Month in which the PPMA was made.
Should an imbalance greater than five percent (5%)
remain in the next Month (i.e., the Month following the
Month in which the PPMA was made), Section 10.3(d) shall
not be applicable to the PPMA imbalance-related
quantities. In this event, PPMA imbalance-related
quantities shall be cashed out at one hundred percent
(100%) of the applicable Cash Out Index Price.
