6. Uniform Quantities
As nearly as practicable, Shipper or Balancing Party, as applicable, shall
deliver and receive gas in uniform hourly quantities during any day.
7. Cash Out Option
On any day that a Balancing Party does not elect the Storage Swing Option
service under Section 8 of this Rate Schedule, Balancing Party shall be
subject to the requirements of this Section 7.
(a) Daily Imbalance Charges:
(i) The Daily Imbalance for a Delivery Point Balancing Agreement
shall be the difference between the total net quantities
scheduled for delivery at the point(s) as set forth in the
Balancing Agreement and the actual quantities of gas taken by
Balancing Party at such point(s) for each day.
(ii) Each day, Transporter shall provide on PASSKEY a continuous
notice of the net pipeline position of Transporter's pipeline
system. Beginning at 12 PM CCT each gas day, Transporter shall
monitor the net pipeline position and provide notice via e-mail
to customers the first time the net pipeline position is greater
than plus or minus 4.5%. Transporter shall calculate the net
pipeline position by dividing the sum of the total positive or
negative cumulative imbalances at all points covered by this
Rate Schedule and the total positive or negative cumulative
imbalances at all points under Rate Schedule LMS-PA by the sum
of the total scheduled quantities at all points covered by this
Rate Schedule and the total scheduled quantities at all points
covered by Rate Schedule LMS-PA. The resulting % imbalance is
the net pipeline position.
(iii) On a day that the net pipeline position exceeds plus or minus 5%,
any Balancing Party under this Rate Schedule that 1) has a Daily
Imbalance that exceeds the greater of 10% of scheduled quantities
or 1,000 Dth but less than or equal to 20% of that Balancing
Party's scheduled quantities and 2) the Daily Imbalance is in the
same direction as the net pipeline position, shall be assessed a
per dekatherm Daily Imbalance Charge equal to two times the
currently effective maximum rate under Transporter's Rate
Schedule PAL. The Daily Imbalance Charge under this Section
7(a)(iii) shall apply only to those quantities of the Daily
Imbalance that exceed the greater of 10% of scheduled quantities
or 1,000 Dth but are less than or equal to 20% of the Balancing
Party's scheduled quantities for that day.
(iv) On a day that the net pipeline position exceeds plus or minus
5%, any Balancing Party under this Rate Schedule that 1) has a
Daily Imbalance greater than 20% of that Balancing Party's
scheduled quantities and 2) the Daily Imbalance is in the same
direction as the net pipeline position, in addition to the Daily
Imbalance Charge set forth in Section 7(a) (iii) above, shall
also be subject to a per dekatherm Daily Imbalance Charge equal
to four times the currently effective maximum rate under
Transporter's Rate Schedule PAL. The Daily Imbalance Charge
under this Section 7(a)(iv) shall apply only to those quantities
of the Daily Imbalance that exceed 20% of the Balancing Party's
scheduled quantities for that day.
