Southern Exposure: Gas-Fired Generators Rising in the Southeast; But Will Northeast Gas Show Up? (published June 9, 2016)
This 9-page report offers a deep dive into the sea of new natural gas-fired power projects in the Southeast aiming to take advantage of bountiful supplies of low-priced shale gas. But how much gas, and how will it get there?
The currently proposed Marcellus-to-Southeast takeaway pipelines could fundamentally change regional flow dynamics. But will unrelenting opposition by anti-pipeline activists delay these projects and leave the region capacity constrained, driving up spot prices and pushing gas back out of the power stack?

"We have a sort of pessimistic view of any of these pipes coming online on time. Your major greenfields like Rover, Nexus...Mountain Valley, Atlantic Coast Pipeline, although we don't see it as quite as risky as building into New England, they're still going to face opposition in Virginia, and then beyond just regulatory risk, there's the sheer construction challenges of building across the Appalachian mountains." - Matthew Hoza, Analyst, BTU Analytics
