✦ Synopsis
Before discussing Southern California Gas Company's responses to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Order 436, which addresses open access transportation, and Order 451, which deals with "old gas" pricing, one should consider a brief background of some of the events that preceded these landrnark FERC decisions.
SoCaIGas must be sensitive and responsive to not only the actions of the FERC but also to the California Public Utilities Commission, under whose immediate jurisdiction the company falls. Of the two FEKC orders, Order 436 has had the greatest impact on SoCalGas' day-to-day operations. This coverage, therefore, will deal principally with transportation. SoCalGas will become involved in the renegotiation process related to old gas" contracts to a lesser degree than interstate pipeline companies, some of which have many contracts for the purchase of NGPA Sections 104 and 106 "old gas." cc
