A forward-looking mechanism for the current recovery of take-or-pay costs, established in Commission Order No.500. Section 2.105 sets forth the general guidelines for GICs. The GIC is intended to recover costs, on a current basis, associated with contractually committing gas service tailored to meet the customer's nominations. GIC's generally fall into two categories. Some GIC's are cost based, that is, they are designed to recover certain identified costs, subject to a reconciliation mechanism. Other GIC's are market based or market responsive. Market Based GIC commodity charges are based upon a measure of the current market price for gas. Market Based GIC demand charges are generally designed to recover any premiums which must be paid above the current market price for long term gas supply commitments. GIC charges generally are assessed either based on a customer's nominated contract demand (Demand Based GIC) or on the amount by which the customer's takes are less than a percentage of its nominations (Deficiency Based GIC). Prior to receiving authority to implement a Market Based GIC mechanism, the Commission must first find that the pipeline is operating in a market that is sufficiently competitive and that the pipeline's firm transportation service is comparable in quality to its firm sales service.
