They include (1) a Loss of Load; (2) a Plant Outage; and (3) a Regulatory Unbundling Order. ANR has also included a fourth option for shippers that are captive to ANR for transportation service (“Sole Supply Customers”) to reduce specified levels of contract demand for any reason. ANR proposes an effective date of June 15, 2002.
