Synchronizing the Gas and Electric Markets


The wholesale gas and power markets went through deregulation at different times. For years each market has operated just fine without the need to synchronize various rules and business practices required to coordinate closely... but times have changed.

Over the past several years, natural gas has grown to become the dominant fuel for power generation, developing a dependency between the markets. If market rules and business practices don't adapt to today's realities, the inherent risks may include power outages.


Although the gas/power syncing issues have many facets and appear to have regional differences and outlooks, this white paper focuses on the big picture issues that cross regional lines. We have provided a series of proposed solutions for those issues.
