To contract for capacity release, use our QuestLine® System.
Dominion Energy has contracted for firm transportation, storage and no-notice transportation service with Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline, LLC.
As part of these arrangements, Dominion Energy will pay full rate for this capacity whether the capacity is used or not. On days that Dominion Energy does not need to use this capacity, it will release the capacity back to Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline to be sold to other parties.
Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline will then post the released capacity services on its web-based Contract Administration System, QuestLine®, for parties to bid on and purchase. Contractual arrangements for this released capacity will be with Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline directly. Any revenue received from Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline for capacity released and resold will be credited to Dominion Energy's monthly bill.
Dominion Energy can lower its costs by releasing and maximizing the revenue from its release capacity. This released-capacity program enables Dominion Energy to resell services it needs on peak days to other parties during times of the year when the service from Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline is not needed.
Acquiring Released Capacity
There are two ways to acquire a parcel of Dominion Energy's released capacity:
- You can wait until Dominion Energy releases unneeded capacity back to Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline. It is then posted on Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline's QuestLine® System and the customer can bid a price and conditions to purchase that capacity.
- You can work with us directly to prearrange a deal. This prearranged deal will include all the negotiated terms, conditions, price, quantity and time frames. We'll then release the capacity to Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline's web-based QuestLine® System. This transaction, however, is released as a prearranged deal.
- A prearranged deal gives you more control over the transaction. Customers with prearranged deals have the right of first refusal. If another party sees the prearranged deal posted on Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline's QuestLine® System and chooses to exceed the agreed upon price, terms, conditions, quantity and time frame, the first party can choose to match the increased price or terms or let the other party purchase the released capacity.
