1 Natural Gas Markets and Regulation Donald F. Santa President INGAA 33 rd Annual PURC Conference Gainesville, Florida February 24, 2006

2 Presentation Overview How did we get here? Natural Gas Restructuring Natural Gas Supply/Demand Balance Where are we going? New Sources of Gas Supply Natural Gas Demand Infrastructure Issues Integration With Global Market Unique Florida Issues

3 Natural Gas Restructuring Major Initiatives Wellhead Decontrol ( ) 1989) Open Access (1985) Unbundling (1992) Changes in Commodity Market Compare/Contrast with Electric Restructuring Overall Success

4 Natural Gas Supply/Demand 1980s s Excess Deliverability Low Prices Market Growth Late 1990s Present Balance Tight Supply/Demand Balance Higher Prices and Volatility Industrial Sector Demand Destruction Electric Generation Demand Growth

5 Recent Natural Gas Consumption by Sector Electric Generation demand growth offsets Industrial Sector demand destruction Recent Natural Gas Consumption by Sector (Bcf per Year) Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration Residential Commercial Relatively high gas prices have led to demand destruction in the industrial sector, a trend that we do not expect to continue...
