Winning Your Pipeline Tariff Negotiations with Regulatory Analytics

In this interview with David Khani, we discuss pipeline tariff negotiations and how regulatory analytics can help shippers win big.

Policies such as the Inflation Reduction Act are reshaping energy infrastructure, along with global events, such as the Ukrainian conflict. Natural gas market dynamics are changing rapidly, and systemically.

Dave and EQT leaned heavily on Arbo to help with complex negotiations and understanding the growing demand for natural gas.

Dave also covers how the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulations influence pipeline operations. Another key factor is decarbonization, which has an impact on pipeline throughput. Companies like EQT Corporation navigate tariff increases and negotiations with shippers, with outside specialized help.

The future of energy includes coal and nuclear power within our evolving energy mix, and to succeed, companies have an indispensable need for data science in regulatory negotiations. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for anyone involved or interested in the energy industry.

Listen to the end to stay informed about the shifts shaping our energy future.
