GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
17.4 Imbalance Penalties
Daily and monthly penalties shall be levied by
CIPCO against any customer who exceeds (either above
or below) the limits specified in paragraphs (a) and
(b) below. Such penalties shall apply on an
individual contract basis and shall apply in addition
to the applicable rates charged to Customer for the
service(s) provided by CIPCO. Nothing herein shall
limit CIPCO's right to take actions of whatever
nature as may be required to correct imbalances which
threaten the integrity of CIPCO's system. Such
actions include CIPCO's right to shorten or eliminate
any applicable grace period in order to protect the
integrity of CIPCO's system.
(a) Daily Imbalance Penalties
Customer will be deemed to have a
daily imbalance if Customer, or its agent,
delivers or causes to be delivered to CIPCO a
quantity which, after reduction for Applicable
Shrinkage and excluding any scheduled make-up
quantities attributable to prior imbalances,
varies on any given day by five percent (5%) or
100 Dth (whichever results in the greater
amount) from the quantity actually taken by
Customer at the aggregate of Customer's Delivery
Point(s) on that day.
If such a daily imbalance occurs,
Customer shall have a two (2) day grace period,
or such other period of time as is mutually
agreeable to both Customer and CIPCO, after
receipt of notification from CIPCO to correct
such an imbalance. Commencing on the day after
the end of such grace period and continuing each
day thereafter, if Customer has not corrected
such an imbalance, CIPCO shall bill Customer,
and Customer shall pay, the following:
(i) If the imbalance determined
in paragraph (a) above is an underdelivery
of gas to CIPCO, then the penalty shall be
ten dollars ($10.00) multiplied by such
daily imbalance quantities; or
