As it had said might be necessary, Florida Gas Transmission issued an Overage Alert Day for market-area customers Tuesday. It carried a 15% tolerance for negative daily imbalances. However, the pipeline said it might have to reverse course and issue an Underage Alert Day on Wednesday because of Tropical Storm Ernesto’s expected landfall in the Sunshine state. “There is a concern that the reduction in load may cause a significant underburn on the FGT system for Wednesday’s gas day,” it said. “FGT will be making decisions concerning an Overage or Underage Alert Day on a daily basis. FGT will try to afford customers as much flexibility as possible while first maintaining operational reliability.”

NOVA declared force majeure effective last Saturday at the Marlow Creek and Jackpot Creek stations as a result of a line break on the Marlow Creek Lateral. Flows through the station were taken to zero. NOVA said its emergency response plan was activated to isolate the affected section, and no injuries were reported.
