Following California Public Utilities Commission approval on August 22, the California Gas Transmission Extension and Open Season is marching forward.

Updated Extension and Open Season Materials

Today CGT mailed customers the following revised Extension and Open Season materials:

• Request for Firm Service
• Extension and Open Season Timeline

The Request for Firm Service is the official document that must be used to request capacity in the Open Season. This final version replaces the Pro Forma Request for Firm Service that CGT distributed on August 6. Similarly, the Extension and Open Season Timeline is an updated version of the August 6 Preliminary Timeline.

You may review or download any Extension and Open Season documents from Pipe Ranger's Extension and Open Season Index. The Index has been updated to include these final documents and a revised version of the Guide to the Extension and Open Season. The revised Guide and Timeline have simply been updated to reflect the CPUC's approval and a one-day extension of the deadline to return Extension offers to CGT.

Redwood Expansion Capacity

With the Extension and Open Season timeline finalized, CGT has determined it will offer Open Season Redwood path expansion capacity with a term beginning November 1, 2002.
