Seasonal Volatility

Winter demand and pipeline constraints can cause price spikes. Staggered terms and hedging help manage the risk profile.

Basis & Delivery

Understand citygate basis, balancing, and swing. Compare offers from Texas commercial gas and electric providers on an apples-to-apples basis.

Lock a price per therm for a set term.

• Example: 75,000 therms/year at $0.58/therm. Bill = usage x $0.58 (+ utility delivery).
• Good for: Predictable budgets; simple for teams without trading bandwidth.

Monthly price floats (e.g., NYMEX) plus local basis.

• Example: July: $0.42 + $0.08 basis = $0.50/therm; January: $0.62 + $0.12 = $0.74.
• Good for: Taking advantage of off-peak months; requires governance.

Hedge a portion or key months; leave the rest index.

• Example: Nov-Mar fixed at $0.69 for 50% of load; other months index.
• Good for: Winter risk control with some market opportunity.

Your delivered price = market index + local basis. Basis reflects transportation/storage costs to your delivery area.

Example: If basis is typically $0.10/therm, a $0.55 market month lands near $0.65 delivered (before utility delivery fees).

These terms affect how much you can deviate from forecast without penalties.

Example: A 20% swing lets 10,000 forecasted therms vary between 8,000-12,000 without extra charges.
