Transporter will monitor, to the best of its ability
receipts and deliveries for each transportation transaction
and, based upon information available, advise the Customer
of any imbalance situation which has occurred or which may
occur unless corrective action is taken. Upon notification,
Customer shall be obligated to adjust receipts and
deliveries of gas to correct or avoid any imbalance. Any
adjustments to receipts and deliveries by Customer, whether
or not pursuant to notification from Transporter, shall be
coordinated with Transporter's gas dispatchers.
If Customer fails to maintain a balance of receipts and
deliveries, Transporter shall impose the imbalance charges,
as applicable. Except with respect to the imbalance penalty
provided in (b) below, however, no imbalance penalty shall
be assessed unless Transporter has notified Customer that an
imbalance has occurred or will occur without corrective
action and Customer has failed to take action in
coordination with Transporter's gas dispatchers. However,
Transporter will not assess both daily and monthly imbalance
penalties for imbalances occurring in any month; further,
Transporter will not assess imbalance penalties in the event
Customer's failure to take corrective action is due to force
majeure conditions other than temporary failure of gas
supply due to factors other than physical impairment of
facilities. In calculating imbalances, Transporter shall
take into consideration (1) quantities retained for fuel and
line loss; (2) make-up quantities used pursuant to
Transporter's notification to correct any excess or
deficiency in receipt and deliveries; and (3) for purposes
of assessing penalties, any offsetting excess or deficiency
in deliveries under other contracts between Transporter and
Customer. Transporter will not take into account prior
period adjustments in calculating an imbalance penalty, if
such adjustments cause or increase a current month penalty.
24. MONTHLY IMBALANCE PENALTIES
At least seven days prior to the end of each month,
Transporter shall notify Customer if it appears that
deliveries to Transporter at the Receipt Point(s) will be
in excess of or deficient by five percent or more of the
transportation quantities delivered to Customer at the
Delivery Point(s).
