Summary
To facilitate the correct energy balancing / billing and transportation charging (use of a site-specific CV and energy adjustments), SGN requires Xoserve to provide solution options considering impacts on:
- LDZ System commodity invoice,
- LDZ Entry invoice,
- NTS commodity invoice(s)) and,
- the relevant Shipper’s energy balancing position
- Capacity charging (incorrect consumptions would lead to incorrect AQs and possibly incorrect SOQs)
- Impacts of meter reads, reconciliation, ratchets, check-check reads, site visits
- Adjustments received after D+5 exit close-out
Any acceptable solution option should be considered a pragmatic, tactical solution. Cadent’s Future Billing Methodology (FBM) Project is assessing the possibility to introduce sub-LDZ CV charging zones. It is anticipated a future rollout of FBM will provide a robust and enduring solution that will support the revised biomethane arrangements.
