Vaporization capacity in New England will soon
exceed 2,000,000 DTh/day.

Capacity Economics
  • Capacity cost is high at low load factors.
  • Significant capacity likely to remain in hands of
    marketers.
  • Firm capacity from MNE expansion may be
    contracted to NY, PJM gencos.

But basis differentials and the base cost of gas
can vary dramatically, depending on the weather
and wellhead availability.
Henry Hub (9.92)

When it gets cold, prices can be expected to
spike and availability may even become
constrained if capacity is contracted outside the
region.
?
This suggests a growing need for peakshaving
mechanisms in New England.
