NPGA Appeals FERC Retroactive Tariffs to D.C. Circuit Court

On Friday, January 16^th, NPGA, led by members NGL Supply, Alliance3, Growmark, and Westlark Advisors, and in a coalition with Airlines for America, Valero Marketing and Supply Company, and Chevron Products Company, appealed the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s order authorizing retroactive rate increases to the 5 Year Index. The FERC Order, issued in November, 2005, allowed pipelines to charge shippers a higher index rate for shipments made between March 2022 and September 2024. Many shippers have already received their invoices, and some shippers have initiated billing marketers their portions. In addition to NPGA’s coalition, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has received similar appeals from Antero Resources Corporation, Cenovus Energy Marketing Services, Ltd., ConocoPhillips Company, Ovintiv Marketing, Inc., Pilot Travel Centers LLC, and Murphy Oil USA, Inc. Details of the filings, and information about contributing to the appeal of the retroactive tariffs are available from NPGA General Counsel Benjamin Nussdorf.
