Tennessee would like to remind all operators/agents of power plants directly connected to TGP of certain parameters of FERC Order 698 requirements. Tennessee requires that all power plant operators submit burn profiles and nominations prior to gas flow. Due to very limited flexibility, power plant operators are encouraged to burn ratably based on scheduled volumes. The burn profiles should be sent to TGPGasControl@Kindermorgan.com. The latest burn profile template can be found by accessing the Tennessee web site and following the steps below.

In the event this OFO is not sufficient to maintain the operational integrity of the system, Tennessee may escalate to a Meter Specific OFO(s) or Hourly OFO(s). Tennessee cannot accept unscheduled imbalances and requires all customers to nominate and schedule all payback requests. Payback nominations will be evaluated at each cycle and scheduled only if operational feasible.
Tennessee will deem all affected Shippers to be in compliance with the actions specified in this Daily Balancing Alert OFO if after the measurement close the actual system conditions were opposite to the conditions for which this OFO was issued.
Please contact your Scheduler if you have any questions.
