Subject: *New* Chehalis Unit 1 Planned Outage and Chehalis Unit 2 Solar Inspections Remin
Notice Text:
To ensure the continued reliability of Unit 1 at the Chehalis compressor station, Northwest has scheduled the manufacturer to come and fine tune the unit beginning Gas Day Monday, October 20, 2025, through Gas Day Saturday, October 25, 2025. In an effort to reduce impacts to customers, Northwest has scheduled this new outage to coincide with the posted Chehalis Unit 2 Solar Inspections beginning Gas Day Tuesday, October 21, 2025, through Gas Day Thursday, October 25, 2025. The following will be the daily operationally available southbound capacities at the Chehalis compressor station during the Unit 1 and Unit 2 outages: - Gas Day October 20, 2025: 600,000 Dth/d southbound
- Gas Day October 21, 2025: 490,000 Dth/d southbound
- Gas Day October 22, 2025: 490,000 Dth/d southbound
- Gas Day October 23, 2025: 490,000 Dth/d southbound
- Gas Day October 24, 2025: 600,000 Dth/d southbound
- Gas Day October 25, 2025: 600,000 Dth/d southbound
Northwest will continue to mitigate Operational Flow Orders (OFO) and deficiency impacts at the Chehalis compressor station on an operationally available basis, as referenced in Notice ID 25-112. If the southbound scheduled quantities exceed Northwest’s design capacity of 672,000 Dth/d at Chehalis Northwest will provide Shippers with their specific OFO obligations by 4:00 p.m. MST. Shippers must comply with their OFO obligations no later than the Evening nomination deadline (5:00 p.m. MST). If an OFO and deficiency period is necessary for a given Gas Day, Northwest will wait until the Evening scheduling process to provide notice of a Declared Deficiency period and will make deficiency cuts to bring the nomination requests at the Chehalis compressor from the design capacity of 672,000 Dth/d to the operationally available capacity of 600,000 Dth/d southbound (for Gas Days October 20, 24, and 25) or 490,000 Dth/d southbound (for Gas Days October 21, 22, and 23). If an OFO is not necessary, but a deficiency period is, Northwest will provide notice of a Declared Deficiency period and will make deficiency cuts in the Timely scheduling process to bring the nomination requests at the Chehalis compressor to the posted operationally available capacities of 600,000 Dth/d southbound or 490,000 Dth/d southbound (or whatever NWP cannot mitigate during any day of this planned maintenance period), all pursuant to Sections 10.2 and 10.3 of Rate Schedule TF-1 in Northwest's Tariff. The deficiency period will continue until the work is completed. Shippers can monitor throughput quantities and obtain a copy of Northwest’s OFO procedures on Northwest’s website at www.northwest.williams.com. If you have any questions, please contact your Commercial Services Representative or the hotline at 713-215-6301.
