(PALS) Park and Loan

|
 |
(IBS) Interruptible Balancing
Services
Rate Schedule IBS defines an interruptible imbalance management service for specified end-use
facilities which are directly-connected to MEP or to a third-party. MEP provides this service
primarily through its system operational capability. IBS shippers must have and maintain in effect
an FTS or ITS agreement to which the IBS agreement is linked. IBS service is designed to help a
shipper accommodate differences between nominations and physical gas flows to the specified end-use
facility under the FTS or ITS agreement to which the IBS agreement is linked. This allows customers
to vary their daily loads either up and/or down, within the levels of the confirmed IBS request
without incurring Balancing Service Charges.
