Marginal cost pricing in the natural gas industry

As well head prices are deregulated, competition with other fuels will become a major factor in the rate design for all components of the US natural gas industry. Marginal-cost pricing - as practiced by competitive, unregulated industries - could apply to the gas industry. Examples of marginal-cost-based prices and rates for a hypothetical competitive gas industry illustrate the effects on price of such factors as excess capacity, geographic differences, and winter demand. Other factors to consider involve the possibility of seasonal field production, changes in connection and metering charges, and excess revenues.
