Specific

PG&E called a Stage 4 systemwide OFO for gas day Saturday June 9. The recent high inventory customer-specific OFOs have not resulted in improved pipeline system conditions, the utility said. “Rather, we have seen non-targeted customers create significant imbalances.” The OFO had a 7% tolerance and $25/Dth penalties.

Pacific Gas & Electric declared a customer-specific OFO for today to guard against excessive linepack.

Projecting linepack above its maximum target level through Sunday, Pacific Gas & Electric issued a customer-specific OFO for today.

Pacific Gas & Electric expanded what had been a customer-specific OFO for Saturday into systemwide Stage 3 high-inventory OFOs for Sunday and Monday. The sytemwide OFOs carried $5/Dth penalties for positive daily imbalances exceeding a 2% tolerance. However, no order is in place for today.

This summer will not be a particularly hot one, but there is a chance that there will be some extensive heat waves in specific regions, especially in the West, New York and New England according to a national weather assessment by esteemed energy weather forecaster Jon Davis of Salomon Smith Barney. The SSB forecast, which takes into account Sea Surface Temperatures (SST), precipitation outlooks and soil moisture, as well as historical data, raises new hurdles for an already crippled California.

The series of actions taken by FERC last month to boost supply and encourage construction of electric and natural gas transmission facilities in California and the West in the short term are “bold” and should be implemented, but the Commission also should consider expanding the scope of the actions to apply to wholesale power markets nationwide, said the Edison Electric Institute (EEI).
