Large
Volume Transportation Service Options
Primary
Services
Monthly
Metered Transportation Service (SC-13M)
This is the primary transportation service used
by most large volume (greater than 5,000 Mcf /
yr) unbundled customers. The customer is billed
for their entire transportation usage. Transportation
rates are based on six annual volumetric categories.
This rate is for firm transportation and requires
firm capacity on all upstream pipelines. SC13-M imbalances are aggregated under SC-19, STBA Service at the market pool level.
Daily
Metered Transportation Service (SC-13D)
This is an alternative transportation service
realistically suitable to only a small group of
unbundled customers. It requires telemetering,
installed at the customer’s expense, to
monitor daily deliveries and usage, since imbalances
between the two are calculated every day (as opposed
to monthly for SC-13M). Although less expensive
than SC-13M, SC-13D requires more work for the
customer and leaves less room for error in nominations.
Transportation rates are based on five annual volumetric categories. SC-13D imbalances are aggregated at the market pool level.
Aggregation
Services
Supplier
Transportation Balancing and Aggregation (STBA)
Service, (SC-19)
The
concept of STBA service is that, except for service-related
matters, National Fuel terminates its relationship
with the end use customer. National Fuel bills
the marketer for the minimum charge, transportation
charge and any net imbalance charge of all customers
in the marketers’ STBA group. The marketer
then bills each customer for all appropriate charges,
including the gas commodity charge for the gas
supplied by the marketer. The customer receives
no bill from National Fuel. STBA service is mandatory
for all individual customers using less than 3,500
Mcf/Yr., and optional for any transportation customer
using greater than 3,500 Mcf/Yr.
Other
Services

for customers planning a plant expansion or new

50 megawatts.
Unbundled
Sales Service For Transportation
Deficiency
Imbalance Sales Service (SC-11)
This is the primary backup sales service to cover
any shortfalls when customer usage exceeds
supplier deliveries. It is an interruptible sales
service with no monthly guarantee on availability
or price. Rates are seasonal and indexed to National
Fuel Distribution’s monthly weighted average
cost of gas (WACOG). If a customer takes SC-11
during a period of unauthorized overruns, a surcharge
of $7/Mcf plus the seasonal WACOG
will be imposed.
Standby
Sales Service (SC-12)
This is a "reserved" back-up sales service
which acts as insurance against any unplanned
shortfalls. It is a firm sales service, with higher
reliability than SC-11, since it is ordered ahead
of time. SC-12 also has a higher certainty of
price, since the customer will not pay any unauthorized
overrun surcharges as in SC-11. Critical Service
customers without dual fuel backup capabilities
who are transporting are required to have SC-12
standby service or released, firm upstream capacity.
Contracted
Sales Service (SC-14)
This is an elected interruptible sales service,
not a backup sales service as in SC-11 or SC-12.
"Posted" rates are indexed to National
Fuel Distribution’s monthly weighted average
cost of gas (WACOG) and is available to any unbundled
customer. "Discounted" rates below the
posted price are available on a customer class
basis or an individual customer basis. Currently,
the only discounted rates are for #6 fuel oil
or coal dual-fuel boiler customers.
