abstract = {
Overview Renewable energy (RE) provides a hedge against volatile and escalating gas prices:
- Mitigates Fuel Price Risk: Long-term contracts for RE are typically offered on a fixed-price basis, unlike gas-fired generation contracts
- Reduces Natural Gas Prices: Increased RE reduces natural gas demand, and consequently puts downward pressure on gas prices
- Presentation includes an overview of natural gas price uncertainty, and discusses research on both of these possible benefits
