Access Gas Services offers an array of natural gas plans tailored to suit your business needs. Natural gas prices are unpredictable and largely influenced by weather patterns, economic activity, geopolitical events and availability of supplies. Depending upon the strength and timing of these factors, the price of natural gas can increase or decrease dramatically. Access Gas Services has developed the following plan to help you effectively manage your natural gas costs:

Pricing Options for Transportation Service

Index Pricing
A fully transparent short term fluctuating rate determined by the daily trading activity in the wholesale natural gas market.

Group Pricing 
This is a fully managed product that leverages the buying power of a large group of customers. Access Gas manages buying decisions, nominations and balancing on behalf of the entire group. All customers pay the same cost per GJ and there is no volumetric commitment (meaning you only pay for what you burn). This is a short-term, partially hedged product that mitigates price risk by providing you with access to a portfolio of short-term wholesale gas contracts. Since inception, this product has always outperformed Terasen Gas’s variable rate, and has provided our customers with significant savings.

Fixed Pricing
This is a general trading agreement that allows for the purchase of one or more physical blocks of gas comprised of a fixed volume over a set term at a fixed price. Based on historical consumption and risk tolerance, a specific volume (for example 100%, 90%, 80% or 50% of your historical consumption) is purchased and the price is fixed at a that days market rate. Should your consumption go above the committed quantity, Access Gas will supply the required amount to you at the then current index price. Oppositely, should your facility consume less than the quantity committed to, we will sell the remaining back to the market at the current index price. In either case, you could gain or lose based on future price movements.

Other Products
Access Gas Services has the ability to create trade options and develop hybrid products.  We are committed to working with our customers to develop a product that will meet your business needs.
