8.3 Monthly Imbalances: The Balancing Party's monthly imbalance shall be the net
total of daily variances from all points covered by the OBA adjusted for make-up
quantities and imbalance trades. 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 8.3(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 8.3(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 or FT-GS, 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 8.3(c)(i) below.
