Common use of Gas Balancing Clause in Contracts

Gas Balancing. (a) For the avoidance of doubt, the User is responsible for ensuring that the aggregate Quantity of Gas delivered by or for the account of the User, through the Receipt Point(s) for the Network, is equal to: (i) the aggregate quantity of gas delivered to or for the account of the User to Delivery Points within the Network; plus (ii) any change in linepack in the Network allocated to the User by Evoenergy or other share of aggregate needs for the Network to ensure safe and reliable supply. (b) On any Day where the total Quantity metered at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Receipt Point ( net of Replacement Gas purchased by Evoenergy at that Receipt Point) (Total ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Quantity) exceeds the aggregate of all Network Users’ Confirmed Nominations at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Receipt Point for that Day (Total ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Nominations), Evoenergy will purchase a Quantity of operational balancing gas equal to the difference between the Total ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Quantity and the Total ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Nominations. The cost of purchasing the operational balancing gas is the Operational Balancing Cost. (c) Each Network User with a negative User’s Daily Imbalance will be allocated a portion of the Operational Balancing Cost in proportion to their contribution to the operational balancing gas. (d) When determining an allocation of the total change in linepack for the Network between the User and other Network Users, Evoenergy will seek to apply a methodology which reflects the linepack requirements of the services which were provided to the User. If Evoenergy considers that a more direct method of allocation is not available, Evoenergy may pro rata total change in linepack based on each Network Users’ typical aggregate capacity entitlement for all network services. (e) Evoenergy shall be entitled to publish (and disclose to the public) the User’s Daily Imbalance by Receipt Point at Evoenergy’s sole discretion, acting reasonably. (f) On an annual basis Evoenergy will arrange for a third party to undertake a review of amounts charged to Network Users as their proportion of Operational Balancing Costs, and will provide the results of that review to Network Users who paid an amount in respect of Operational Balancing Costs. (g) Evoenergy will prepare and maintain on its website a worked example of the manner in which Operational Balancing Costs are determined and allocated among individual Network Users. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ 2,400 kPa 6,895 kPa The Network except Bungendore Hoskinstown 8,000 kPa 14,895 kPa The Network The minimum and maximum receipt pressures shown are based on a typical combination of supply from ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Hoskinstown during a winter peak period. Any significant change to the load, or share of load, supplied through each Receipt Point may require a revision to the pressures specified above. Evoenergy will notify Users of any updates to Table 4.1 and publish an updated Table 4.1 on its website.
