Agreement Contract Types - Overview
Peoples has a variety of Agreements or "Contract Types" based on the system where the production meter delivery point is located. Below is an outline of each type and who to contact for further inquiries.
Master Interconnect and Measurement Agreement
Peoples permits local gas producers to provide and install Measurement & Regulation (M&R) facilities for custody transfer of natural gas between the local producer and Peoples. The Master Interconnect and Measurement Agreement (MIMA) provides for a single receipt point or multiple receipt point locations for the producer to connect to the Peoples pipeline systems. The requirements set forth in this Agreement for design, permitting, construction, and maintenance apply to new facilities as well as modifications of existing interconnect facilities.

Gas Purchase Agreement (GPA)
As described in the Interconnect Agreement overview above, Peoples offers Pennsylvania producers the option of selling gas produced at these facilities, according to the terms and conditions of a Gas Purchase Agreement (GPA). The information provided in the GPA includes, but is not limited to, the following: (1) the time period during which the gas production is to be sold and delivered to Peoples; (2) the purchase price of the gas delivered; (3) production well permit numbers and their associated delivery point(s); and (4) an estimate of the quantity of gas to be sold and delivered by the producer.
