RE:Oh how those 1 stars hurt, oh the pain !what are you talking about TenthDay ?
There is no maintenance schedule on anything, especially Nat Gas electric stations. I think you are confusing maybe Nuclear power stations that do a little bit of down time in the shoulder seasons. It would have the opposite effect on NG price, from the way it has moved.
Anyways there is a lot of Solar and Wind out there that was built when NG was higher priced and they are not going to take these alternatives off the grid.
So NG really has no where to go with such a glut but way down. The only way you will see $2 is if the weather maps start predicting 90 days out for heat waves. All I see is cooler south eastern USA 90 days out. And staying warmer than normal in the northern states.
The storage looks like it will end withdrawl season at a record level and the utilities are going to have very little early summer incentive to do much injection, they will wait a bit and buy cheaper future months when they need a little bit above their normal supply contracts.
IMHO NG futures have a lot further to fall since there will be no utility buyers for April NG or May NG.
