Capacity Center Releases 2020 Pipeline Capacity Market Year in Review Report

Boston, Mass – April 12, 2021 – Capacity Center, a Skipping Stone subsidiary, released the 2020 Pipeline Capacity Market Year in Review report today. In 2020, 768 separate entities completed more than 61,000 capacity release trades on over 100 pipelines.

“Notably 90% of capacity release trades are in the spot market with terms of less than a year,” said Skipping Stone President Greg Lander. “While the Top 5 trading firms are the same firms as last year, there was a good bit of jockeying in the rest of the Top 20. The two biggest movers were NRG, which jumped from number 12 to number 6, and Vitol who jumped from number 25 to number 12.”

The report is packed with charts and analysis for 2020, including:

  • Top 20 Pipeline Capacity Traders
  • Top 20 Capacity Pipelines and Release Percentages
  • Top 10 Producer-Marketers Holding Firm Capacity
  • Top 10 LDCs Holding Firm Capacity
  • Trading Partner Diversity Rankings… and much more

Capacity Center Announces New Service: Capacity Locator

CapacityCenter_com 1000Online Access to Pipeline Capacity Deals on All Pipelines

Boston, Mass – December 5, 2018 – Capacity Center announced the launch of its new service offering, Capacity Locator. This new service allows subscribers to see every biddable capacity release offer on every pipeline in one online location. Users can click through from Capacity Locator straight to the pipeline EBB if they are interested in bidding on available capacity. The service shows all current open offers by pipeline with the ability to refresh throughout the day to keep up to speed as the market changes.

Capacity Locator is free to subscribers and complements Capacity Center’s other information services: Capacity Offer Bulletins (detailed offers emailed as they are posted), Capacity Awards Reports (daily summary with pricing data of all deals done the previous day), Open Season Alerts, and Critical Notices (outages, OFO’s and any notices impacting gas flow). Companies can choose from among the 104 pipelines in the Capacity Center system and subscribe to those pipelines they are interested in or active on.

“Capacity Locator was developed to save time and effort for users who monitor pipeline bulletin boards throughout the day to shop for capacity deals. Capacity Locator allows the user to monitor all the offers on all the bulletin boards in one location and jump straight to the bulletin board to bid on a deal of interest,” explained Greg Lander, Capacity Center President.  “With the number of deals increasing each year, and profits more and more dependent on taking advantage of deals as they become available, the ability to keep up to speed and yet maintain labor costs were the key drivers behind Capacity Locator.”
