With freezing temperatures forecast for northern Florida Monday night, Florida Gas Transmission (FGT) notified market-area customers that it was issuing an Overage Alert Day for Monday with a 15% tolerance on negative daily imbalances. Noting that on Nov. 1 FGT had begun maintenance on the Citronelle FGT and Citronelle Transco interconnects between FGT Stations 10 and 11, FGT now expects to finish the work on Jan. 31; until then zero volumes are being scheduled at the interconnects. Total operational capacity there is 400,000 MMBtu/d, but during normal operations up to slightly above 300,000 MMBtu/d is scheduled. See the bulletin board for a list of affected area points.
