2015 Southeast Agenda

Presentation Highlights:
The new decade of natural gas is ushering in a “Golden Age” of sorts. With a 100 year supply and projected long range affordable prices, the growing demand for natural gas has begun to outpace the interstate transportation abilities of the industry. With a growing demand for distribution systems to be updated, reinforced, and extended to serve more customers, how is the “utility of the future” to be prepared to take advantage of this unique time? Especially when the quest is to modernize infrastructure, the traditional regulatory model and creative ways to deal with “dark forces” could limit the industry’s ability to sell gas and meet our customer’s needs.

Presentation Highlights:
• The Cost Relationship between Crude Oil and Natural Gas
• Production and Consumption Trends in Fossil Fuels
• Natural Gas Prices Around the World: Exploring the Differences
• Where Natural Gas & Alternative Energy Sources Meet

"Hedging for Budgetary Success" will demonstrate to attendees how to communicate to supervisors (PUCs, Board of Directors and rate payers) why hedging is prudent and/or necessary. Attendees will be introduced to a statistical approach developed by the instructor that quantifies the cost/benefit of hedging. They will be exposed to analytical tools that quantify risk in budgetary terms. These tools are used by more than 35 firms, managing more than $65 billion in cash flows, to communicate and document their rationale for hedging.
