Wholesale

 

The natural gas industry today has experienced a profound transformation. With wellhead prices no longer regulated, natural gas prices now depend on supply and demand forces, thus opening up competition and choice.  Instead of interstate pipelines taking ownership of the natural gas commodity, they now handle only the transportation component, which is still under federal regulation. capSpire’s expertise includes delivering near real-time solutions to manage market-area exposure for natural gas wholesalers. 

 
  • We deliver in-system broker reconciliation processes for expedited daily reconciliations.
  • Our team has configured and implemented historical and Monte Carlo value at risk (VaR) for various wholesale gas companies.
  • We provide both technical and functional leadership in the shape of formal training as well as implementing new credit and risk reports to strengthen controls.
  • With capSpire’s support, our clients can efficiently manage the full lifecycle of their contracts and deals, close books on-time, and generate daily risk and credit reports.
