Natural Gas Interchangeability; Notice Seeking Comments, 11238-11239 [E5-961]

Download as PDF 11238 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 44 / Tuesday, March 8, 2005 / Notices Additional Conditions It is critical that new sales of STF transmission service not degrade the value of the conditional firm transmission product. All CF contract amounts will be treated as firm obligations when determining the amounts of STF and nonfirm transmission available for future periods. The renewable generators propose that CF customers be upgraded to firm service during conditional months when firm service is determined available on a monthly, weekly, daily or hourly basis. Once CF customers are upgraded to firm, additional STF could then be sold during the same time frame and without gaining the reduction in capacity availability priority over CF customers. If there is more than one conditional-firm customer impacting a constrained path, and the available STF on that path is less than the combination of CF customer requests, the available STF must be allocated among those customers in a fair and reasonable way. Customers offered new CF Agreements will be provided clear guidance on the risk of reductions in the capacity availability based on historic transmission usage data. Price Renewable generators and other independent power producers who have expressed interest in this product believe that the price should reflect the fact that customers of conditional-firm are more likely to experience reductions in capacity availability than customers with firm transmission. Given this increased curtailment potential, there is an expectation on the renewable generator’s part that the resulting cost would be less than a full year of firm transmission. In order to avoid the need for a rate case, the renewable generators propose a pricing structure that uses current TBL transmission rates. The proposal is that CF customers pay firm transmission rates for the percentage of the year that they are guaranteed to receive firm transmission. For example, if a customer is offered a CF product that will be firm 95% of the year, this customer will pay 95% of the cost of a year of PTP service. We invite other opinions and suggestion on this pricing issue. [FR Doc.
