MNCA Operational Flow Order -- EFF 8/8
Due to daily Due Pipe imbalances and lower than desired linepack levels, MNCA is issuing an Operational Flow Order (OFO) pursuant to Section 10.2 of the General Terms and Conditions of MNCA's Gas Tariff effective 9:00 AM CCT August 8, 2026, in order to maintain the operational integrity of the system.
This OFO does not affect the ability of MNCA to receive or deliver quantities of gas for scheduled nominations to any customer or pipeline.
During the effectiveness of this OFO, all Customer Service Agreements imbalances shall not exceed 12% of scheduled deliveries or 500 GJ, whichever is greater for nominations scheduled from a physical receipt point. The penalty shall apply to each GJ of allocated imbalance that exceeds the greater of 500 GJ or 12% of scheduled delivery quantities for nominations scheduled from a physical receipt point for each Customer Service Agreement (imbalance make-up nominations and payback nominations cannot be utilized to avoid an OFO penalty). The penalty will be equal to the Adjusted Index Price, which as defined in Section 10.3 of the General Terms and Conditions of MNCA's Gas Tariff for the day on which such violation occurred. The Adjusted Index Price is defined in MNCA's Gas Tariff Section 1.1 as one and a half times (150%) of the arithmetic average of daily Platts Gas Daily "Daily Price Survey" posting for the High Common price for the "Tennessee, zone 6 delivery", less the MNCA 100% load factor recourse rate for MN365 firm service. In addition, MNCA will not permit retroactive nominations to avoid an OFO penalty except for shippers who can secure day ending Due Shipper supply from a physical meter.
MNCA will inform customers via its Electronic Bulletin Board (EBB) when this OFO will be lifted. In addition, MNCA may revise the tolerances in the event system conditions dictate. MNCA will post any tolerances changes on its EBB.
Please contact your Operations Account Representative if you have any questions.
