What is Natural Gas?
One of the top three major fossil fuels
Extracted from below the earth’s surface via drilling and fracking
Travels through pipelines
Unlike electricity, it can be stored underground or in caverns
Clean burning and efficient
What is Natural Gas?
Key unit of measure is a “therm” – one therm of natural gas contains 10,000 BTU of energy.
Ex.: A 1,600 sq. ft. house in Grand Junction uses about 5 therms a day in the winter.
Natural gas is a commodity with several points of pricing on the spot market (ex. Henry Hub and City Gate); and because it’s a commodity, pricing can and does fluctuate depending on current and expected supply and demand.
Energy Deregulation
A little history – Power plants were once owned and operated by monopoly utilities.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, they were broken apart and “deregulated” much like the airlines and telephone companies.
Now retail firms in most states can sell electricity and gas to consumers, delivering it via the existing transmission lines still owned by traditional utilities, such as Xcel Energy.
Energy Deregulation
Colorado is only deregulated for
commercial natural gas.
Who benefits from deregulation?
Why?
Now, you get to choose your power and that equals …
Power of Choice
On average, we’ve saved businesses 5-20% on their gas bill by going with a different supplier.
