New England's AGT-CG hub hit $15.25 per mmBtu on December 18, 2019, its highest since January 2018, during a cold snap. The spike was driven by pipeline constraints, the retirement of the Pilgrim nuclear plant, and reduced capacity on Tetco M3 with operational flow orders in place.
Gas-fired generation has grown by almost 3 GW to replace the retired capacity.
Pipeline bottlenecks and higher gas-fired power demand in New England created a regional price spike even though national prices were weak. This shows how transport constraints can override broad oversupply in local gas markets.
