• Full winter term: November 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023. No partial period bids will be accepted.
• System Segment Capacity:
  • Some posted segments share common capacity.  A successful bid on one system segment may reduce the capacity on another system segment.
  • Any bids that pertain to common capacity will be evaluated together for allocation purposes.
  • Each capacity segment requested must be on an individual bid form
• Conditional Bidding: STFT bids can be conditioned on another STFT bid
  • If an STFT bid is conditional on other STFT bids, and any of these STFT bids require a reduction to the maximum daily quantity, the maximum daily quantity for the other STFT bid will be reduced by the same percentage.
  • Please submit each set of conditional bids in a separate fax, to provide clarity on which bids are related.
• Minimum Acceptable Quantity: May be specified by bidder in the event that prorating capacity is necessary
• There are no Diversions, Alternate Receipt Points, or Renewal Rights with any STFT service
• Transportation sales in the Daily Existing Capacity Open Season will affect the available capacity in this STFT Open Season
•  Please note that the STFT bid floor percentage is applied only to the applicable Daily Demand Toll for FT service and not applied to abandonment surcharge or pressure charge.
