02-7462. Tenaska Marketing Ventures, Complainant, v. Northern Border Pipeline Company, Respondent; Notice of Complaint

March 22, 2002.

Take notice that on March 20, 2002, Tenaska Marketing Ventures (TMV) submitted a complaint against Northern Border Pipeline Company (Northern Border).

TMV alleges that Northern Border is refusing to enforce its FERC Gas Tariff and contracts by not terminating its service agreements with affiliate Enron North America (ENA). TMV alleges that if Northern Border had properly terminated ENA's service agreements, it could no longer bill for and collect transportation charges from temporary capacity release replacement shippers (such as TMV) that have acquired ENA capacity because once Northern Border terminates the underlying service agreements, all subordinate capacity releases also terminate unless the pipeline makes alternative arrangements with the replacement shippers in a manner consistent with Northern Border's tariff.
