2014-15 Natural Gas Markets Current Supply and Winter Heating Season Report
Chris McGill- Vice President, Policy Analysis, AGA
What could trump the vortex-related events of the first quarter of 2014 in energy markets? Drastic changes in energy commodity prices; natural gas consumption levels exceeding January 2014; leveling of storage deficits; or continued increases in domestic production? Actually, all occurred since one year ago to begin 2015. This presentation will examine key market conditions in the wake of last year’s temperature and weather induced first quarter natural gas market records and how we find the supply-demand balance, today.
Post 111 (d) Are we ready to meet natural gas demand (supply & infrastructure) for power generation
ANGA Presentation
Marty Durbin - CEO, ANGA
EPA’s proposed 111 (d) regulations call for a rapid shift toward significant use of wind, solar and natural gas for electricity generation in America. This redesign of the nation’s electric generation system requires major investments in infrastructure and new supply chains to facilitate natural gas generation. This panel will review the gas supply outlook; the status of gas transmission and distribution infrastructure; and the possibilities of new products, services and technologies such as Combined Heat and Power to help utilities and regulators comply with environmental rules and maintain reliability.
