For years each market has operated just fine without the need to synchronize various rules and business practices required to coordinate closely. However, the dependence of electric generation on natural gas usage significantly increased from the late 1970s onwards, with a major shift occurring in the 1990s and early 2000s as natural gas became the primary source for electricity generation due to its relative affordability and lower emissions compared to coal.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-color-#015289 font-style-normalText\">With this change a dependency developed between the markets necessitating a change in market rules and business practices adapted to new realities. Among the inherent risks created power outages loomed greatly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"font-style-normalText\">Although the gas\/power syncing issues have many facets and appear to have regional differences and outlooks, this white paper focuses on the big picture issues that cross regional lines. The authors also provided a series of proposed solutions for those issues, many of which are now in practice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read the paper the original paper published in 2013 that started it all. Skipping Stone President Greg Lander, CEO Peter Weigand, and Partner Ross Malme joined to to take a look at the issues around the changing electricity and natural gas markets.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lux292hf-4e64dd08348fa36629a5dec9f7774e1a\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lux292hf-4e64dd08348fa36629a5dec9f7774e1a .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:18px;\ncolor:#1b3e6f;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lux292hf-4e64dd08348fa36629a5dec9f7774e1a '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7588\" src=\"https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sychronize-01-16-13-cover.jpg\" alt=\"synchronizing-gas-electric-markets\" width=\"310\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sychronize-01-16-13-cover.jpg 774w, https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sychronize-01-16-13-cover-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sychronize-01-16-13-cover-768x992.jpg 768w, https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sychronize-01-16-13-cover-546x705.jpg 546w, https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Sychronize-01-16-13-cover-450x581.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lux2dwee-33fba10653538419a7174060dfe3b405\">\n.flex_cell.av-lux2dwee-33fba10653538419a7174060dfe3b405{\nvertical-align:top;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_cell.av-lux2dwee-33fba10653538419a7174060dfe3b405{\npadding:10px 130px 30px 30px !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_cell av-lux2dwee-33fba10653538419a7174060dfe3b405 av-gridrow-cell av_one_half no_margin  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_cell_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  content-align-top'  ><div class='flex_cell_inner'><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lux2b1ey-6afc171cf341324337196e97c6974240\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lux2b1ey-6afc171cf341324337196e97c6974240 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:18px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lux2b1ey-6afc171cf341324337196e97c6974240 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-846 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Skipping-Stone-500-350-2.jpg\" alt=\"gas and electric market synchronization\" width=\"500\" height=\"292\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lux292hf-4e64dd08348fa36629a5dec9f7774e1a\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lux292hf-4e64dd08348fa36629a5dec9f7774e1a .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:18px;\ncolor:#1b3e6f;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lux292hf-4e64dd08348fa36629a5dec9f7774e1a '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Fill out the form below to download your <span style=\"color: #c30010;\"> FREE<\/span> copy of the whitepaper.<br \/>\n<script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/cp359.infusionsoft.com\/app\/form\/iframe\/b55eb7fae1f59834d1fceb77fa558392'><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7585","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7585"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7585\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7595,"href":"https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7585\/revisions\/7595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skippingstone.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
