Scoreless

With El Paso Natural Gas and its full requirements (FR) customers scoreless after several months of negotiations, FERC last week sent the two sides into extra innings. The Commission on Wednesday pushed back the deadline for the planned system-wide conversion on El Paso of FR service to contract demand (CD) service from Nov. 1 of this year to May 1, 2003, allowing existing CD shippers whose transportation capacity may be subject to pro rata cuts during the interim period to receive demand charge credits.
