Mandatory

A mandatory cap on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will not be a magic bullet to drive up demand for natural gas among power generators, according to research by Duke University’s Climate Change Policy Partnership (CCPP).

Sabine Pass LNG LP does not have to go through the mandatory pre-filing process for liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility modifications that are related to its request to export foreign-sourced LNG from its terminal in southwest Louisiana, FERC said last Wednesday.

Citing the impact of Hurricane Ike and unavailable capacity associated with mandatory evacuations, Tennessee declared a force majeure event at midday Friday for Station 25 in Cleveland, TX, and Station 32 in Jasper, TX. “This event will significantly limit throughput on the 100 Line,” Tennessee said. Gulf South said it was notified that the Burns Processing Plant had resumed operations and the pipeline was again accepting nominations for flow Thursday at 14 locations affected by a plant outage earlier in the week (see Daily GPI, Sept. 12). “Please be aware the plant may be affected by the approaching Hurricane Ike and could go off-line again,” Gulf South added.

Global energy demand is on track to grow by 50% over the next 20 years, and without mandatory actions to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG), the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) flowing into the atmosphere from energy use could be 51% more in 2030 than it was in 2005, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported last week.

FERC has begun a formal, nonpublic investigation into whether any mandatory federal reliability standards were violated during the widespread power outage in Florida last month that affected as many 2.5 million people statewide.

Based upon mandatory evacuation orders issued by various governmental entities along the central Texas Gulf Coast, Texas Eastern said it will be required to shut in compression that is necessary to move gas out of the South Texas and East Texas zones. Effective at 6 p.m. Wednesday all IT-1 and a portion of secondary/preferential firm service was restricted for volumes sourced in those zones, the pipeline said. As information is received from supply interruptions, Texas Eastern will force balance TABS pools as required to maintain system reliability.
