*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
While the power market is only one component that could influence the gas market, it is the most dynamic, with the highest downside risk to the long-term growth. The sheer size of the North American markets offer a glimpse of the role of natural gas storage under various market characteristics. With the changing power generation mix, especially the retirement of coal and the abundance of renewable new-build, gas demand will grow in some regions and shrink in others. What do these changes in gas demand mean for gas storage assets?
