Lotus Chairman CEO Himanshu Saxena discusses how the energy industry is responding to a low gas price world

November 30, 2018

Lotus In The News

With gas prices low, and expected to remain low, the profitability of power generation assets has changed. We have around 1,000GW of installed power generation in the US. A little over half of that is coal and nuclear. Before the shale gas revolution, these assets were highly profitable. But with the price of gas so low, there has been a shift on the marginal unit – effectively the last asset that has to run to meet the power demand at any point in the grid. That marginal unit has, generally speaking, become natural gas, so gas is now setting the price of power. In most markets in the US, that price of power is now in the $20 to $30 per megawatt-hour range.
