Customer Actions for Compliance (Refer to Gas Rule 14)
- Customers required to balance supply and usage on a daily basis
- Daily imbalance must be within specified OFO tolerance band
Method to Determine Compliance
- Noncore customers with Automated Meter Reading (AMR) and Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Utility Electric Generation Department: compliance based on actual daily metered use
- Noncore customers without AMR: compliance based on Average Daily Quantity (ADQ) specified in Natural Gas Service Agreement (NGSA)
- Core Procurement Groups: compliance based on the determined usage forecast (same-day forecast) on the day of the OFO
- California Production Balancing Agreement holders: compliance based on scheduled nominations and actual daily production deliveries
Charges for Noncompliance
- Noncore customers with AMR and Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Utility Electric Generation: charges based on actual daily metered usage
- Noncore customers without AMR: charges based on ADQ or actual daily metered usage, whichever results in a lesser charge
- Core Procurement Groups: OFO noncompliance charges are based on the determined usage forecast (same-day forecast) on the day of the OFO. For EFOs, however, if the end of flow day core demand (day-after) forecast would result in a lower EFO noncompliance charge, the day-after forecast will be used instead of the same-day forecast.
- California Production Balancing Agreement holders: charges based on scheduled nominations and actual daily production deliveries
