The Company stated in its Petition that it did not have to buy additional gas to make up for
Clearwater's use during curtailment and no financial harm was incurred. Petition at 4. Please
explain how the Company was able to accommodate Clearwater's consumption during each of the
eight days nominations were exceeded. Additionally, please explain how the Company avoided
financial harm.
RESPONSE:
Avista only purchases gas for core load customers and does not purchase gas for transportation
customers. Additionally Avista's natural gas loads are many times larger than the Company's
transportation customer loads and Avista's daily buying and balancing processes ensure Avista is
always within tolerances during both entitlement and non-entitlement periods. It was also
fortunate that during Clearwater's entitlement overuns! Avista had a favorable cumulative
imbalance on Northwest Pipeline (NWP), so Clearwater's violations, and temporaxy use of
Avista's natural gas, had no impact. Attached as AVU-G-19-08 Statf-003 Attachment A are
imbalance reports liom NWP showing not only Avista's daily nominations and usage, but Avista's
daily imbalance with NWP. What this shows is Avista's NWP pack was more than sufficient to
accommodate Clearwater's overun.
Additionally Clearwater's imbalance is tracked and managed on a daily basis so its overuse of
natural gas on the eight entitlement days is accounted for and tracked in an imbalance account and
trued-up.
Because Avista maintained a pack on NWP and because Avista does not buy natural gas lor
transportation customers, Avista's acquisition practices did not change nor require additional gas
purchases because of Clearwater - or any other transportation customer. Avista suffered no
financial harm as Avista wasn't assessed entitlement penalties nor were we forced into the spot
market to purchase gas to make up for Clearwater's overrun.
