Rate Schedule TF-1 Service Agreement

Contract No. 139090

 

THIS SERVICE AGREEMENT (Agreement) by and between Northwest Pipeline LLC (Transporter) and Cascade Natural Gas Corporation (Shipper) is made and entered into on April 09, 2019 and restates the Service Agreement made and entered into on October 24, 2018.

 

WHEREAS:
  1. Pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 25 of the General Terms and Conditions of Transporter's FERC Gas Tariff, Shipper acquired certain transportation capacity that was posted by Transporter as available capacity.
  2. Significant events and previous amendments of this Agreement include:
    1. By Amendment dated October 24, 2018, Transporter and Shipper realigned 8,960 Dth/d of MDDOs from Plymouth LNG to Grays Harbor delivery meter, subject to a Contract-specific OFO of up to 3,899 Dth/d between Olympia Lateral to Jackson Prairie Delivery.  The restatement also included the following Specified contract-specific OFO conditions “Contract-specific OFO is incremental to Shipper's Must-Flow OFO obligations associated with this Agreement. If Transporter remarkets the vacated capacity between the Olympia lateral to Jackson Prairie, then Transporter will reduce Shipper's Contract-specific OFO by the amount and term in which the new agreement covers Shipper's Contract-specific OFO obligation.”
    2. Transporter and Shipper agree to remove the Contract-specific OFO and Specified contract-specific OFO conditions from Exhibit A as described in Recital B, Paragraph 1 since Puget Sound Energy has acquired the vacated corridor rights from the Olympia Lateral to Jackson Prairie on Agreement 134258.
