As hinted by its linepack projections Tuesday (see Daily GPI, Sept. 2), PG&E declared a systemwide Stage 2 low-inventory OFO on its California Gas Transmission System for Thursday, setting penalties of $1/Dth for noncompliance with a 5% tolerance on negative daily imbalances.

As of Aug. 28, Northwest said, remaining available capacity at the Jackson Prairie storage facility was about 900,000 Dth, which meant firm injection capability was 150,000 Dth/d. Interruptible injections are not allowed.
