Provision of Data about Compressor Usage by Transco Sample Clauses

Provision of Data about Compressor Usage by Transco. Concern has been expressed to Ofgem about the potential impact of compressor usage on pressure levels at nearby connection points. In the light of representations made to us we sought Transco’s views as to whether and on what basis it would be willing to provide data relating to the likely use of its compressors on a day-ahead basis, given the potential impact of compressor. One party has suggested, in this regard, that Transco ought generally to provide this service, on request, and that it should do so using its current price controlled revenues. Transco has stated that to provide such a service on a nation-wide basis would necessitate a significant administrative burden. Consequently, Transco has indicated that it would be willing to provide such information only if it was an excluded service. Transco has enquired whether analysis is required as to who receives what information, and has also stated that operating decisions are often made at short notice. Condition 9C of BG plc’s public gas transporter (PGT) licence includes a definition of Transportation Revenues for the purposes of the transportation price control. This Condition also defines certain categories of turnover that are excluded from the price controlled revenues. One of these categories relates to turnover that “derives from the Supply of Transportation Services which otherwise are not ordinarily required by shippers”. Ofgem’s initial view is that this service is one that could ordinarily be required by shippers. On that basis, Xxxxx’s initial view is that providing data on compressor usage should not be an excluded service.
