Based on the current milder weather forecast and associated demand on Southern's system in addition to limited operational flexibility, we are implementing an OFO Type 6 for long imbalances on Southern's contiguous pipeline system effective for the start of the gas day, Saturday, September 4th, 2021, and until further notice. In order to maintain the operational integrity of Southern's system, it is essential that Shippers and Poolers remain in balance (including their available no-notice injection entitlements). The OFO Type 6 order will subject each Shipper/Pooler to the following tiered imbalance penalties: Daily Imbalance Penalty
Percent of Allocated Deliveries
Per Dth
0 - 2% or < 200 dth
No Penalty
> 2 - 5%
$1.00
> 5 - 8%
$5.00
> 8%
$15.00
Since the projected operational conditions are affected by receipts exceeding deliveries, the penalty will apply only to each Shipper/Pooler that has a net long imbalance (i.e., the party's total allocated receipts exceed total allocated deliveries including available no-notice storage injections). If you have any questions regarding the OFO, please call your Account Manager or Scheduling Representative.
