Practice Areas: Energy Industry
Gas Industry Consulting
The futures of the United States natural gas industry and gas utilities are likely to be very different from the recent past. Demand has been growing faster than production, leading to tighter supplies and more volatile prices. Between now and 2020, the American Gas Association (AGA) predicts a $99 billion capital requirement for distribution alone. An additional $50 billion is expected to be required for energy transmission and storage. Meanwhile, residential heating customers are struggling with higher bills. These are just some of the issues that local gas distributors (LDCs) are wrestling with as they try to manage expectations for growth in profitability and shareholder value.
