TPS SERVICE AGREEMENT
Exhibit 10.2
| Service Agreement No. To Be Assigned | ||
| Control No To Be Assigned |
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this 8 day of February, 2006, by and between COLUMBIA GAS TRANSMISSION CORPORATION (“Transporter”)
and WASHINGTON GAS LIGHT COMPANY (“Shipper”).
WITNESSETH: That in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
Section 1. Service
to be Rendered. Transporter shall perform and Shipper shall
receive service in accordance with the provisions of the effective TPS Rate Schedule and
applicable General Terms and Conditions of Transporter’s FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised
Volume No 1 (Tariff), on file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission),
as the same may be amended or superseded in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the Commission. The maximum obligation of Transporter to deliver gas hereunder to or for
Shipper, the designation of the points of delivery at which Transporter shall deliver or
cause gas to be delivered to or for Shipper, and the points of receipt at which Shipper
shall deliver or cause gas to be delivered, are specified in Appendix A, as the same may
be amended from time to time by agreement between Shipper and Transporter, or in
accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission. Service hereunder
shall be provided subject to the provisions of Part 284.223 of Subpart G of the
Commission’s regulations. Shipper warrants that service hereunder is being provided on
behalf of Shipper.
Section 2. Term. Service under this Agreement shall commence as of November 1.
2007, or upon receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, whichever is later, and
shall continue in full force and effect until March 31, 2023. Pre-granted abandonment
shall apply upon termination of this Agreement, subject to any right of first
refusal Shipper may have under the Commission’s regulations and
Transporter’s
Tariff.
Section 3. Rates. Shipper shall pay Transporter the charges and furnish Retainage as
described in the above-referenced Rate Schedule, unless otherwise agreed to by the
parties in writing and specified as an amendment to this Service
Agreement. Transporter
may agree to discount its rate to Shipper below Transporter’s maximum rate, but
not less than Transporter’s minimum rate. Such discounted rate may apply to: a) specified
quantities (contract demand or commodity quantities); b) specified quantities above or
below a certain level or all quantities if quantities exceed a certain level; c)
quantities during specified time periods; d) quantities at specified points, locations,
or other defined geographical areas; and e) that a specified discounted rate will apply
in a specified relationship to the quantities actually transported
(i.e., that the
reservation charge will be adjusted in a specified relationship to quantities actually
transported). Transporter may also agree to discount its rate based on published index
prices for specific receipt or delivery points or other agreed-upon published pricing
reference points for price determination (such discounted rate may be based
on the differential between published index prices or arrived at by formula). A
discounted rate based on such basis differentials: (1) shall not change the underlying
rate design; (2) shall not include any minimum xxxx or minimum take provision that has
the affect of guaranteeing revenue, and (3) shall define the rate components to
be discounted. In addition, the discount agreement may include a provision that if one
rate component which was at or below the applicable maximum rate at the time the discount
agreement was executed subsequently exceeds the applicable maximum rate due to a change
in Transporter’s maximum rate so that such rate component must be adjusted downward to
equal the new applicable maximum rate, then other rate components may be adjusted upward
to achieve the agreed overall rate, so long as none of the resulting rate components
exceed the maximum rate applicable to that rate component. Such changes to rate components
shall be applied prospectively, commencing with the date a Commission order accepts
revised tariff sheets. However, nothing contained herein shall be
construed to alter a
refund obligation under applicable law for any period during which rates which had been
charged under a discount agreement exceeded rates which ultimately are found to be just
and reasonable.
Section 4. Notices. Notices to Transporter under this Agreement shall be addressed to it at Xxxx
Xxxxxx Xxx 0000, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000-0000, Attention: Manager Customer
Services and notices to Shipper shall be addressed to it at
