02/12/2021 - Extreme Weather Alert - Update #1

Please Note: changes from the previous posting are shown in bold type.

Due to the unprecedented market conditions resulting from the current extreme weather period, Panhandle recommends that shippers utilize their contracted primary receipt and delivery points in order to maintain the highest priority of service during this event. In order to protect system reliability and ensure the operational integrity of gas service across its system, Panhandle may limit interruptible and secondary firm nominations to ensure that scheduled delivery obligations are maintained during this period.

Based on current cold weather forecasts, Panhandle is preparing for increased pipeline utilization and reduced operational flexibility. Effective Gas Day February 6, 2021, Panhandle is requesting all delivery point operators to minimize over-takes and all receipt point operators to minimize their under-deliveries into the system.

To ensure system integrity, Panhandle is requiring all Shippers under Rate Schedule EFT, EIT, SCT, GDS or LFT to limit their hourly deliveries to one-sixteenth of the quantity scheduled for delivery on the applicable day. Please refer to the GT&C Section 12.11(g) of the Panhandle Tariff regarding the penalty provisions as it applies to customers in the event of noncompliance with this request.

Additionally, Power Plant Operators must have nominated supply.

Intraday scheduling reductions may be implemented to ensure that nominations match actual flowing quantities. Shippers are encouraged to submit their nominations for the Timely cycle.

All storage customers are requested to stay at or below their Maximum Daily Withdrawal Quantity (MDWQ). Storage customers should adjust flowing volumes to remain at or below these limits.

Panhandle may limit Auto-Unpark nominations on the pipeline for the duration of the extreme weather. These limits will be evaluated on a daily basis.
