Please note that effective April 1, 2016, the Capacity Release Timelines have changed due to the implementation of FERC Order 809 and NAESB 3.0 Standards. Accordingly, the capacity release auction process will begin at 7:00 AM, June 6, 2017 and will close at 8:00 AM Pacific Time on June 8, 2017, to coordinate with this timeline change on the interstate pipelines.

By June 6, CGT will send the information packet via e-mail to all parties who currently hold a Gas Transmission Service Agreement (GTSA) with CGT and have the "Trader" role in the INSIDEtracc System. The information packet will include details on the offerings available and how to participate in the capacity release process.
