A Georgia Gas Storage Unit Agreement is a legally binding contract established between a gas storage facility operator and a gas storage customer in the state of Georgia. This agreement outlines the terms and conditions under which the gas storage facility provides gas storage services to the customer. The gas storage facility is responsible for maintaining and operating the facility, ensuring the safe and reliable storage of natural gas reserves. The customer, on the other hand, utilizes the storage services to meet their gas supply needs, ensuring a constant and uninterrupted gas supply. The agreement typically includes various key elements and provisions. These may include but are not limited to: 1. Storage Capacity: The agreement specifies the allocated storage capacity that the customer is entitled to utilize within the gas storage facility. This capacity is usually expressed in volumes such as cubic feet or cubic meters. 2. Injection and Withdrawal Rights: The agreement outlines the rights and limitations for the customer to inject and withdraw natural gas into/from the storage facility. It outlines the procedures and any operational limitations associated with these activities. 3. Contract Terms: The agreement states the duration of the contract, including the start and end dates. It may also address provisions for contract extensions, renewals, or termination, outlining the necessary notice periods and conditions. 4. Pricing and Payment: The agreement stipulates the pricing structure for the gas storage services provided, including any applicable fees, tariffs, or charges. It also outlines the payment terms and schedule, such as invoicing frequency and methods of payment. 5. Force Mature Clauses: The agreement may include force majeure clauses to address unforeseen events or circumstances that may affect the facility's operation or the customer's ability to utilize the storage services. These clauses typically provide provisions for the suspension or modification of contractual obligations during such events. Types of Georgia Gas Storage Unit Agreements can vary depending on the specific details and arrangements agreed upon by the parties. Some potential types include: 1. Firm Storage Agreement: This type of agreement guarantees a specific storage capacity to the customer, ensuring availability of the reserved gas storage capacity throughout the contract term. 2. Interruptible Storage Agreement: In contrast to a firm agreement, this type offers non-guaranteed storage capacity. The customer can utilize the storage facility's services, subject to availability and priority over firm customers without guarantees. 3. Seasonal Storage Agreement: This agreement allows customers to store gas during specific seasons when demand for natural gas is lower, typically enabling cost savings for future use. 4. Customized Storage Agreement: This type of agreement is tailored to meet the unique requirements of a specific customer, allowing for flexibility in terms and conditions beyond standard agreements.
