GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
14. ALLOCATION AND IMBALANCES (Cont'd.)
14.7 Calculation of Monthly and Daily Imbalances
A Shipper's imbalance under a particular service agreement is
always equal to the amount of gas received by Transporter for that
Shipper's account under that agreement, less the amount
Transporter delivers to that Shipper under that agreement, and
less applicable Fuel and Company Use retention and Transportation
LAUF retention, adjusted for imbalance payback and relief.
Imbalances can be either positive (adjusted receipts for Shipper's
account exceed deliveries to Shipper) or negative (deliveries to
Shipper exceed adjusted receipts for Shipper's account).
Each month, Transporter will calculate the imbalance for each
agreement (from among all the receipt and delivery points used
under that agreement) and aggregate those calculations into that
agreement's Monthly Imbalance. The Monthly Imbalances for all the
agreements in effect for a single Shipper are set off against each
other to calculate the Monthly Shipper Imbalance. Each Monthly
Shipper Imbalance is aggregated with any cumulative unresolved
imbalances from previous months into that Shipper's Cumulative
Monthly Imbalance. The Cumulative Monthly Imbalance is compared
to a Monthly Imbalance Tolerance Level ("MITL"), which is equal to
5% of the accumulated daily scheduled receipts for the month under
all that Shipper's agreements, but at least 1000 Dth.
If a Shipper indicates its consent in writing delivered to
Transporter, or by E-Mail message, Transporter will transmit a
Shipper's Monthly Imbalance Statement by E-Mail message.
For each day that an Injection Restriction Advisory or Cold
Weather Advisory (as described in Section 14.8) is in effect,
Transporter will calculate the imbalance for each agreement (from
among all the receipt and delivery points used under that
agreement) and aggregate these calculations into that agreement's
Daily Imbalance. The Daily Imbalances for all the agreements in
effect for a single Shipper are set off against each other to
calculate the Daily Shipper Imbalance. The Daily Shipper
Imbalance is compared to a Daily Imbalance Tolerance Level
("DITL"), which is equal to 5% of the scheduled receipts for the
day under all that Shipper's agreements, but at least 1,000 Dth.
