Thanks to America’s shale gas revolution and an extremely mild 2011-2012 winter, NYMEX natural gas prices have fallen to price levels not seen in over ten years. Energy consumers have benefited greatly from this continuing decline but at some point this trend must come to an end. We are advising our clients to ensure they have a strategic plan in place to manage energy cost risk when the prices of natural gas finally reach bottom.

The U.S. General Services Administration has taken the lead in embracing an important environmental sustainability and energy conservation strategy called Demand Response. Starting in May of 2011, the U.S. General Services Administration and NuEnergen LLC., of White Plains, NY, began the process of initiating this Demand Response energy conservation & electric power grid reliability program.
