Based on the present ordsprog

Based on the present trends, the natural gas prices this winter is expected to be significantly higher than last winter.

Nick Stavropoulos

Higher energy costs are finally taking their toll on U.S. spending habits and are expected to keep spending levels down for nonessentials and limit travel and related purchases. Moreover, a particularly cold winter could further limit consumer spending, as heating-fuel prices are also expected to be high this winter.

This is only a projection. We don't know what the prices will be in the dead of winter, we don't know if there will be another hurricane or natural disaster, and we don't know what the weather is going to be like in the winter.

The bottom line: we have lost a significant share of our natural gas supply, and imports cannot offset this loss. The result will be higher natural gas prices this winter.

Because we have already locked in prices for two-thirds of our winter supply, we're expecting customers' bills to be about 15 percent higher than they were last winter.

It isn't where natural gas prices will be this winter or even next winter, but where the prices will be over the lifetime of the project.

I don't think the holiday season will be as good as last year. Right now people are facing higher gasoline prices. As winter arrives, the higher cost of natural gas will push up utility bills.

Everybody is having the same problems. You've still got some natural gas production in the Gulf that is off-line. But right now with the warm winter, we have plenty of natural gas. The natural gas prices will go down further. And as they do, so will your power costs. It's going to be about three months before things get better. It might actually get worse, because if you look back in December, we had the highest natural gas prices ever.

Next year, we'll quite likely have rates higher than this winter. The futures market for natural gas is telling us that these prices are not temporary.

We will have this money available to put us in a better position to make decisions about the 2006-2007 heating season. All indications are natural gas prices will be even higher next winter.

Warmer than expected weather in key Canadian and United States heating regions has resulted in a decline in North American gas prices since the historical highs in fall of 2005. Natural gas market prices respond to supply and demand. In the fall, reduced natural gas supplies due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita and expectations for a cold winter led to high prices. Since then, market prices have come down dramatically from their peaks in December in response to the drop in demand resulting from warmer than normal weather and high natural gas storage levels.

We believe spot oil-to-composite natural-gas ratio will average 8.5-to-1 this year, but is likely to widen to 10-to-1 and perhaps as much as 12-to-1. Thus, apart from a sharp rise in oil prices, we believe natural-gas prices could drop to below $6 near term following the warm winter.

Winter is not over and we still have a national energy problem to solve, but the wholesale cost of natural gas is trending down slightly and we are passing those savings along to customers. These lower prices, although still high by historical standards, should be welcome news to customers who have been challenged to pay this winter despite warmer weather.

Prices for all kinds of heating -- natural gas, fuel oil, electricity and propane -- have all risen since last year. But thanks to a warm winter and higher inventory levels, the price of natural gas is continuing to decline. We're pleased to pass along these savings to our customers in Miami-Dade, Brevard, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties.

At the start of the winter, they talked about a colder than expected winter. Now they're talking about a warmer than expected one. We're not out of the woods with the weather yet.
