[Trunkline Gas Company] [Force Majeure] TGC Force Majeure: Kountze Station Power Outage

SEV 4/5Force MajeureUntil further notice
Summary
Trunkline Gas Company declared force majeure effective 2026-09-02 due to an unexpected power outage at the Kountze Compressor Station (MP -73.7) caused by Tropical Storm Edouard landfall. Scheduling reductions are being implemented immediately to reduce imbalances and maintain system integrity. No end date has been provided; duration is indeterminate pending power restoration.
Trading note
TGC force majeure at Kountze CS removes northbound Gulf Coast-to-Midwest capacity with no stated restoration timeline; expect bullish pressure at Trunkline ELA and Henry Hub with possible widening at downstream Midwest delivery points as scheduled volumes are cut, with no concrete capacity figure available to quantify the reduction.
Reroute potential
Moderate: Texas Eastern (TETCO), Southern Natural (EGT), and ANR serve overlapping Gulf Coast northbound corridors, but tropical storm-related conditions affecting the broader Gulf Coast region may simultaneously limit alternative pipeline headroom.
