Transmission costs including operating, debt service, fixed rate/volume gas resale losses, gas processing and storage will be included in the cost of gas. Unpaid gas costs resulting from price adjustments during extreme daily pricing, gas losses, billing errors, and other events will be distributed monthly during a recovery period and included in future monthly gas costs. During extreme daily market pricing events customers using city gas to generate electricity for the purposes of selling back to the grid or intermittent users with usage profiles outside of their average use may be charged based on their actual daily cost of gas. Interruptions. Deliveries of gas to commercial or industrial customers may be interrupted or curtailed in case of shortage, or threatened shortage, of gas supply from any cause whatsoever, to conserve gas for residential and other human need customers served hereunder, according to all mandatory orders of governmental agencies having jurisdiction.
