This book was written to help you understand the forces behind deregulation, and how you can use this knowledge now to negotiate lower utility rates, even if deregulation has not been fully implemented in your area. You will learn how coordinating new rate packages with the management of your in-house loads can multiply your savings. Essential ingredients to successful negotiation are clearly outlined, including assessing your alternatives for both load management and supply, understanding interruptible rate options, doing your homework on ongoing deregulation activities, and hands-on involvement in fine tuning the final contract.

Natural gas purchasing is generally deregulated on a federal or interstate basis. However, intrastate, there are many conditions that come into play which typically translate into higher costs for the commercial or industrial user. This book is intended to serve as comprehensive reference which can be used by the natural gas purchaser to sort out both the potential pitfalls that can negatively impact gas costs, and the opportunities for significant savings available to the informed user. Each step in the process of natural gas production and delivery to the marketplace is thoroughly examined, including production, inter/intrastate transportation, regulation, cost factors, local distribution, company structures, and deregulation processes. Also fully covered is the natural gas LDC billing process, and how understanding it can lead to significant savings.
