Due to current maintenance outages at PG&E’s storage facilities, California Gas Transmission is estimating a reduction to PG&E’s available withdrawal capacity in January 2019 in the range of 20 to 130 MMcf/d (approximately 2 to 11 percent of firm obligations). The remaining available capacity is greater than the actual maximum core withdrawal over the past 15 years.

Pipeline balancing services will continue to remain in effect under the regular protocols. As a reminder, CGT’s pipeline balancing services are provided by an allocated 4.040 Bcf of storage inventory, 75 MMcf/d of injection capacity, and 75 MMcf/d of withdrawal capacity.
