Markets · Natural Gas

Commercial natural gas at the rate you deserve to pay.

We source fixed, index, and basis-only natural gas contracts for manufacturers, large commercial properties, multi-family portfolios, and restaurant chains across 14 deregulated gas markets.

Gas vs. electricity procurement

Natural gas procurement has its own set of variables. Here's what matters.

Basis risk
NYMEX + local spread

The NYMEX Henry Hub price is the national benchmark, but you pay NYMEX plus a basis differential — the local pipeline transport and delivery cost. Basis can swing dramatically, especially in winter. We quote you the all-in delivered price.

Pipeline tariffs
Interstate transport

Moving gas from the wellhead to your LDC city gate requires interstate pipeline capacity. Suppliers arrange transportation; some pass it through at cost, others bundle it. Understanding what's bundled vs. unbundled is critical to apples-to-apples comparison.

Balancing & storage
Swing tolerance matters

Gas is consumed as a flow commodity. If your usage deviates from the nominated volume, you incur balancing charges. Fixed-price contracts often include some swing tolerance; indexed contracts may expose you to cash-out penalties. We match contract structure to your load profile.

Contract structures

Three ways to buy commercial natural gas.

Fixed price
Locked $/MMBtu delivered

A single all-in price per MMBtu for your nominated volume over the contract term. Includes commodity, basis, transport, and supplier margin. No surprises.

Best forBudget-constrained buyers, winter-heavy loads, businesses entering a new budget cycle. Hedge 100% of your volume or a portion.
Index / NYMEX-based
Float with the market

Monthly settlement at NYMEX prompt-month plus a fixed basis and supplier adder. You participate in price downturns but are exposed to market spikes.

Best forIndustrial buyers with flexible processes who can reduce consumption during price spikes. Strong choice in storage-long markets.
Basis-only
Lock the spread, float NYMEX

Fix only the local transport and basis differential while leaving the NYMEX commodity portion floating. Eliminates local pipeline risk while preserving exposure to Henry Hub.

Best forSophisticated buyers who self-manage NYMEX exposure via NYMEX futures or options, or who have natural hedges in their business.
