1. Transportation Fuel Retention
Transportation fuel is retained on receipts based on the zone of delivery for the gas except for those receipt to delivery combinations that qualify for intrazone fuel or backhaul fuel. The approved transportation fuel retention percentages are as follows effective April 1, 2019 – September 30, 2019:
Delivery Zone Fuel Retention Percentages
Zone 0 2.54%
Zone 1 2.54%
Zone 2 3.46%
Zone 3 4.31%
Intrazone (1-1, 2-2, 3-3) 0.84%
Backhaul 0.16%
2. Storage Fuel Retention
Storage fuel is collected on net Dths withdrawn and injected each day. The approved storage fuel retention percentage effective April 1, 2019 – March 31, 2020, is 0.55%.
SNG will apply these new fuel retention percentages to all nominations commencing with the Timely Cycle for Gas Day April 1, 2019.
All Shippers will need to renominate their business for April 1, 2019 to ensure that the correct fuel is applied. To do this, you will need to retrigger your Transportation line items and DART will recalculate the updated fuel percentage. Also, if you update your own internal tools with these fuel percentages, the nomination upload template can be used to facilitate this change. Please contact your Scheduling Representative if you have any questions in regards to this process.
