For capacity that becomes available other than through the
circumstances identified in Paragraphs 28 and 33, requests for
firm capacity shall be accommodated in the following manner
and subject to the following conditions and limitations:
(a) In order to be eligible for firm capacity, a party
requesting service (requestor) must be deemed
credit-worthy per Paragraph 18.3 and submit a valid
request in accordance with the provisions herein.
(b) Pre-Arranged Capacity: PG&E GT-NW may enter into a
pre-arranged service agreement with any party for
available unsubscribed capacity or capacity that becomes
available and is not subject to a right of first refusal;
provided that PG&E GT-NW will post the terms of
the pre-arranged transaction and other parties
will have an opportunity to bid on the capacity. If
another party submits a bid with a higher incremental
economic value, the pre-arranged Shipper will have a
one-time right to match the higher bid in order to retain
the capacity. If the pre-arranged Shipper elects not to
match a higher competing bid, the capacity will be awarded
to the highest creditworthy bidder in accordance with
Paragraph 18.1(e).
(c) Available Capacity: PG&E GT-NW will post available
capacity on its Internet website. A requestor
that submits a valid request may submit a bid via the
website for the available capacity subsequent to
PG&E GT-NW's posting of such capacity on the website.
The Bid Period will be a minimum of 1 business day for
capacity available for up to 1 month; a minimum of 3
business days for capacity available for greater than one
month but less than one year; and a minimum of 5 business
days for capacity available for one year or more. All
bids not withdrawn prior to the close of the Bidding Period
shall be binding. At the end of the Bidding Period,
PG&E GT-NW will evaluate the bids and determine the bid(s)
having the greatest economic value as determined in
Paragraph 18.1(e) below.
