Winter is coming: Can gas, power sectors move from finger pointing to joint coordination?

Capitol Crude: The US Energy Policy Podcast

Heading into this winter, relatively mild weather is forecast, but utility regulators have warned that an extended bout of extreme winter weather could stress infrastructure and present problems once again. Though progress has been made enhance winter preparedness, the interconnected nature of the gas and power industries remains a key concern.

Jose Costa, president and CEO of the Northeast Gas Association, joined the podcast to discuss the gas and power interplay. He spoke with S&P Global Commodity Insights reporter for The Energy Daily Tom Tiernan about infrastructure and pipeline capacity issues compounding the challenge of gas and power interdependence, NGA’s role in helping to aid gas and power sector coordination, and efforts underway to both reliably and affordably meet energy needs beyond just electrification, including gas transportation alternatives, geothermal pilot projects and other solutions that will require natural gas to remain a part of the fuel mix into the future.
