Avista, an electrical and natural gas utility based in #Spokane, is requesting customers in Eastern Washington and the Idaho Panhandle conserve natural gas due to an issue with their supplier. I wonder if this is related to issues in Alberta.
At 20:53 the temperature in Spokane was -19°C. The forecast low tonight is -23°C.

Possible. Alberta is burning mucho methane right now. -40* in the shade.

*Do not make me give a unit for this!
Hmm. Note the date.

@ingalls Cascade Natural in Bend is asking customers to cut back, too: https://ktvz.com/news/business/2024/01/12/cascade-natural-gas-asks-nw-bend-residents-to-reduce-natural-gas-use-during-extreme-cold-snap-to-maintain-service/
Why do I suspect they're all just laying the groundwork to get regulatory hurdles lowered?
Cascade Natural Gas on Friday asked customers in a large area of northwest Bend to reduce their natural gas usage from Friday evening at 6 p.m. until noon Monday due to the extreme cold temperatures due in the region. The utility has projects underway to resolve pipeline capacity issues.
