Saying it was experiencing peak day operating conditions Tuesday and that weather and load forecasts indicated this would continue through at least Wednesday, Algonquin will restrict forward haul Authorized Overrun, AIT and due-shipper makeup volumes for Wednesday’s gas day. “The need for any additional restrictions will be evaluated after the timely cycle,” the pipeline added. Later Tuesday afternoon, Algonquin reported experiencing an unscheduled outage at its Southeast Compressor Station affecting mainline throughput. Thus it added “the majority of secondary firm nominations scheduled on a forward haul basis” through Southeast to the previously announced constraints for Wednesday, saying only nominations for incremental Primary No-Notice service will be accepted.

East Tennessee will implement its Maximum Allowable Delivery (MAD) Service Wednesday until further notice. Unauthorized overrun charges will not be assessed on a balancing party unless the quantity of gas by which it exceeds MAD is more than the greater of dekatherms or 2% of MAD.

Northern Border anticipates “high potential impact to incremental” volumes during one-day maintenance projects at Compressor Stations 12 and 03 on Dec. 10 and Dec. 12 respectively.
