Real trades. Real Timing advantage.
The fuel chain behind the price move
The sensor network behind the case extends beyond the power grid to the upstream and midstream gas infrastructure that fuels it: production basins, interstate pipelines, storage fields, LNG terminals - the fuel chain behind roughly 40% of US power generation. On timescales that matter for power trading, gas and power are one market. A pipeline freeze or LNG shutdown removes supply, Henry Hub moves, and power prices follow within hours. A power trader with the upstream signal sees the cause before the effect reaches power prices.
