Quá trình tái cấu trúc ngành công nghiệp khí đốt California bắt đầu vào năm 1988, khi Ủy ban Tiện ích Công cộng California (CPUC) ban hành thay đổi đầu tiên trong số nhiều thay đổi về thiết kế giá cước nhằm mục đích mở cửa thị trường khí đốt tự nhiên cho cạnh tranh.

Thay đổi đầu tiên là việc chia thị trường khí đốt California thành các phân khúc khách hàng cốt lõi và không cốt lõi, tùy thuộc vào nhu cầu tiêu thụ, mức độ ưu tiên sử dụng cuối cùng và khả năng kinh tế của khách hàng trong việc sử dụng nhiên liệu thay thế.

Các khách hàng không thuộc mạng lưới khách hàng cốt lõi được cung cấp khả năng lựa chọn dịch vụ khí đốt tự nhiên từ một nhà cung cấp khác. Nhà cung cấp dịch vụ khí đốt (GSP)  Thay vì công ty điện lực, công ty điện lực vẫn cung cấp dịch vụ vận chuyển khí đốt qua hệ thống phân phối của mình đến đồng hồ đo khí của khách hàng.

Năm 1991, các thay đổi bổ sung về thiết kế giá cước đã được thực hiện. Một trong những thay đổi đó cho phép khách hàng cốt lõi lựa chọn các dịch vụ hàng hóa từ các nhà cung cấp dịch vụ chung (GSP) thông qua một... Vận chuyển tập trung cốt lõi (CAT) chương trình. Những thay đổi quan trọng khác đã được thực hiện, mở cửa năng lực vận chuyển đường ống liên bang và dịch vụ lưu trữ khí đốt cho cạnh tranh.

Con đường tái cấu trúc ngành công nghiệp khí đốt vẫn chưa kết thúc. Chúng tôi dự đoán sẽ tiếp tục có những thay đổi về thiết kế giá cước để CPUC đạt được mục tiêu cuối cùng là cung cấp cho tất cả khách hàng sử dụng khí đốt một thị trường khí đốt cạnh tranh hơn.

Định nghĩa hiện tại về các phân khúc khách hàng sử dụng khí đốt

Khách hàng cốt lõi

Khách hàng cốt lõi bao gồm tất cả khách hàng dân cư, bất kể quy mô tải, khách hàng thương mại có tải hàng năm dưới 250,000 therm, và những khách hàng thương mại có tải hàng năm trên 250,000 therm lựa chọn sử dụng dịch vụ có độ tin cậy cao hơn đi kèm với dịch vụ cốt lõi.

Khách hàng không thuộc nhóm khách hàng cốt lõi

Noncore customers are Commercial & Industrial customers having gas consumption through a single meter, which is equal to or greater than an annual monthly average of 20,800 therms and elect noncore gas transportation service. All customers using gas for electric generation or cogeneration are eligible to elect noncore gas transportation service, regardless of use.

Khách hàng hộ gia đình có 30 ngày kể từ ngày nhận được hóa đơn đầu tiên từ nhà cung cấp để hủy đăng ký tham gia chương trình CAT. Vui lòng liên hệ với nhà cung cấp dịch vụ hoặc SDG&E để yêu cầu chấm dứt dịch vụ khí đốt của bên thứ ba.

Changing to a Different Gas Service Provider

Initially, customers commit to participate in the Customer Choice Program for one year. After the first year, customers can switch to a different GSP or return to SDG&E procurement services. The agreement with your GSP should outline any cancellation process and conditions.

If your GSP terminates service to customers or goes out of business, you will return to SDG&E’s procurement service.

90 Days Termination and Switch Conditions

Customers have up to 90 days from the termination effective date to switch to another GSP. After 90 days, if the customer has not chosen a new GSP, the customer must continue to receive gas procurement service from SDG&E for a total of 12 months before being eligible to return to service under the Customer Choice program.

Điều khoản sử dụng

These programs are approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and may be modified or terminated at any time. The CAT Program is subject to Tariff Rule No. 32 and other applicable tariffs and CPUC decisions that are in effect from time to time.

Noncore Gas Transportation Service Requirements

Điều Kiện Cần Có

Noncore Gas Transportation Service Terms & Conditions and Noncore Contract

The general terms and service conditions applying to noncore gas transportation service are described in the Information on Natural Gas Services & ProgramsNoncore Gas Transportation Service Contractvà SDG&E's Gas Rule 25.

All customers electing noncore gas transportation service are required to submit a completed Noncore Gas Transportation Service Contract (Form 142-1259). If you don't know your account number or gas meter number, contact your Account Executive or SDG&E’s Business Contact Center at 1-800-336-7343.  Please ensure you've included the "primary" and "alternate" gas curtailment contact names, phone numbers and email addresses.  Noncore customers are required to keep SDG&E informed of any changes to the gas curtailment contact information.  SDG&E will counter sign the contract and return a copy to the customer for its records.

Customers with multiple meters qualifying for noncore service must complete a separate noncore contract for each meter.

Automated Meter Reading Device

All customers electing noncore gas transportation service are required to install, at the customer’s expense, an automated meter reading (AMR) device which enables SDG&E/SoCalGas to remotely read the customer’s meter. See SDG&E Gas Rule 14 & SDG&E’s Gas Rule 27

Gas Procurement & Gas Balancing Services

Noncore customers must either accept responsibility for managing their own gas procurement, scheduling, balancing, and certain transportation needs independently or through an assigned agent or arrange to have these needs fully managed by a Contracted Marketer (“CM”).  See List of Noncore Gas Service Providers for the gas suppliers who provide noncore gas procurement options in the SDG&E territory, or you may call SDG&E's Business Contact Center at 1-800-336-7343.

SDG&E will provide the noncore customer or its’ Contracted Marketer (CM) with balancing services. Under the balancing service rules, gas usage and gas deliveries into SDG&E’s system must be balanced within a prescribed tolerance band or the customer or CM will be subjected to imbalance charges. Violations of the balancing rules are subject to balancing violation charges. See SDG&E Schedule G-IMBSDG&E Gas Rule 1 và SDG&E Gas Rule 30.

Gas Curtailment Responsibilities

Gas Curtailment Order & Curtailment Baseline Quantities

SDG&E gas customers can be curtailed in accordance with the provisions of SDG&E’s Gas Rule 14 với Noncore customers typically curtailed before core gas customers.  Noncore service priorities are described in SDG&E’s Gas Rule 14 and are based on the end-use of the noncore customer with differentiations made between CA Independent System Operator (CAISO)-dispatched electric generators and non-CAISO-dispatched noncore customers (Cogeneration, non-CAISO-dispatched EG, Noncore C&I). 

In the event of a curtailment of natural gas service, CAISO-dispatched electric generators are curtailed first in coordination with the grid operator(s), up to a summer/winter limit of 40%/60%.  Non-CAISO-dispatched noncore customers are curtailed next. The volume of gas that Non-CAISO-dispatched noncore customers will be allowed to be burn during a gas curtailment will be based on their Curtailment Baseline Quantities (CBQ) for each noncore account/gas meter.

Non-CAISO-dispatched noncore customers will have a Summer CBQ and Winter CBQ based on historic, peak-day usage for each noncore account/gas meter. Customers with CBQs are curtailed on a pro rata basis and the authorized maximum hourly allowed gas usage for non-CAISO-dispatched noncore customers will be equal to a percentage of their CBQ divided by 24 hours, as specified by SDG&E. Noncore customers can be curtailed up to 100% of their usage

For non-CAISO-dispatched noncore customers, Curtailment Baseline Quantities (CBQs) will be established annually as a customer’s peak day consumption in summer (April through October) and in winter (November through March) within the previous 24 months. In the event a customer doesn't have 24 months of operating history, the customer’s CBQ may be estimated. For new noncore customers, typically the Gas load study is used to determine what the CBQ will be for the facility.  Once usage becomes available, then actual peak day usage is used for the CBQ.  If you would like to know your CBQ, contact your Account Executive, SDG&E’s Business Contact Center at 1-800-336-7343 or email SDG&E Gas Customer Choice at [email được bảo vệ].

 

Gas Curtailment Event

In the event a gas curtailment, your Account Executive or an applicable person from SDG&E Customer Success department will let you know what your authorized hourly quantity (in therms) that you are allowed to use during gas curtailment. If your usage is above this authorized hourly value, the gas curtailment penalties will be $5 per therm/per hour for each hour there is a violation, plus the daily balancing standby rate defined in Schedule G-IMB, for each therm consumed during the curtailment period, in addition to the charges under the customer's applicable rate schedule.
