Imbalance Management Procedures

CIG expects operators to continuously manage their confirmations on a cycle-to-cycle basis to match actual flow rates. During the period addressed by this notice, non-performance caps may be implemented for the upcoming Gas Day or even in the intra-day cycles for the current Gas Day, based on current pipeline operating conditions. As always, CIG will strive to give shippers and operators as much advance notice as possible before implementing non-performance caps. CIG will apply non-performance caps on a shorter time schedule and/or on weekends if operating conditions on the pipeline require such action.

To help avoid operational issues related to underperformance, CIG encourages all shippers to actively work with their suppliers and markets to ensure that all parties are aware of the importance of matching their actual flow rates with their confirmed scheduled flow rates.

CIG will post an update to this notice as system conditions change.
