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.

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.
