All Shippers will need to renominate their business for October 25, 2024 to ensure that the correct fuel is applied for the remainder of the month and continuing forward in DART. 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.
In the upcoming days, SNG will apply these new fuel retention percentages to all nominations commencing with the Timely Cycle for Gas Day October 2, 2024. At that time, an additional posting will be made to inform customers the fuel updates have been made and that the imbalances are available for viewing.
