Colleen need your help with this one. Choice is having huge temperature
swings causing drastic demand changes. Also, the new Choice SST contract mdq was reduced from 134,000 to 54,000 in April. There are several cold days that are causing ENA to service Choice via IT ($0.05/dkt) and Contract Overruns ($0.21/dkt). Do these charges get passed back to CES? The TCO schedulers are trying to be proactive, by looking at Intraday Temps. Unfortunately, we are having a hard time estimating the actual burn. The CDC posts a forecast, one day before gas flow. CDC does not post intraday temps, we look at the National Weather Service. CDC only posts actuals, once the gas day is ended. Once the gas day is ended, TCO and CDC only allow adjustments on the SST contract as a no-notice storage withdrawal adjustment. Because the burns are increasing during the cold periods, we are overrunning the contracts. Just want to ensure everyone is on the same page before ENA receives TCO's April bill, and CES receives ENA's April bill. I have not discussed this with CES yet, wanted to ensure ENA is on the same page. So far this month: 4/4 IT = 25,589 Overrun = 6000 4/8 IT = 22,226 Overrun = 8000 4/9 IT = 12,404 Overrun = waiting on actuals 4/10 IT = 8,200 Overrun = waiting on actuals Accumulated Estimated Cost IT = $3421 Overrun = $2940 There was another suggestion to use the Idle transport for Hopewell and Calp. At this time, I strongly advise not using the swing transport. If Hopewell and Calp come up... it is usually late intraday... and does not give us enough time to switch the transport with the CDC's. The penalty for Choice gas not showing up is $25/dkt and getting kicked out of the Choice program. The CDC's do not accept retro's for Choice gas. Believe me... I have tried several times!!!! Usually CES has enough behind the citygate pool gas to help balance for minor differences (under 100 dkt). Also, TCO is not as friendly as they used to be in doing retro's for Choice gas. Thank you for your help.
