Natural Gas Hedging for Alberta Businesses
For manufacturers and any gas-intensive site, an unmanaged gas bill is an unmanaged budget.
Why gas needs a strategy
Natural gas is priced in $/GJ and can swing sharply with weather and market conditions. For sites that use gas for process heat or large heating loads, that volatility flows straight into cost of goods.
Your options
- Fixed $/GJ — lock the commodity rate for the term for full certainty.
- Index — float with the market to capture soft prices, accepting the risk.
- Block/hybrid — hedge your predictable base volume and float the rest.
Aligning gas with electricity
The strongest programs procure gas and power together, so process heat and power decisions are optimized as one strategy rather than in isolation.
The right mix depends on how much of your gas volume is predictable and how much budget risk you can carry. We model it against your actual usage.
