Commodity Price Monitoring: Interconn monitors real-time commodity prices through its suppliers and electronic access to the New York Mercantile and Intercontinental Exchanges. Additionally, Interconn makes the previous day's NYMEX and daily spot prices on several pipelines available to its customers via email or fax, including monthly index prices for select pipelines. This data is the most reliable commodity information available in the industry and allows Interconn to respond to pricing requests and execute customer orders promptly.

Pipeline Rate and Operations Monitoring: Interconn is connected to several pipeline electronic bulletin boards which provide up-to-date information about the status of proposed rate changes, as well as operational conditions. Rate change information may include changes to the demand and commodity components of the rates or changes to surcharges and fuel retention rates. Operationally, Interconn’s personnel can assess the likelihood of operational flow orders and notify customers immediately when orders are issued. System receipt and delivery balances, as well as storage levels are also important data used in evaluating customer options.

Commodity and Transportation Price Risk Management: Using information from multiple sources, Interconn provides numerous commodity and transportation pricing options for its customers. Interconn personnel assist in creating individualized customer purchase strategies by working with the customer to identify overall objectives and select the option that best meets each customer’s individual risk profile. Controlling price volatility is a critical objective of customers and Interconn offers fixed commodity and transportation pricing to alleviate volatility. Fixed commodity pricing is based on the current NYMEX prices and can be obtained for a month or for multiple years. Fixed transportation pricing can be Firm or Interruptible and is based on the prevailing market for the delivering pipeline at the time of purchase. Monthly and daily index commodity pricing and spot transportation rates are available, as are options, caps, and other creative methods for meeting customer needs.

Operations Management: Interconn can handle any and all of the operations work necessary to take receipt of and delivery for gas provided to you as efficiently as possible. Interconn’s operations personnel are trained on several pipelines and have established working relationships with each one. Operations include nominating and scheduling, along with daily balancing of supply receipts and deliveries.

Asset Management: Acting as Agent for customers who hold pipeline storage and transportation assets in their name, Interconn uses its extensive knowledge, experience, and contacts to maximize the worth of your assets and return this value to you through supply discounts, revenue sharing, or other mutually beneficial programs. With so many complexities involved in trading around pipeline assets, combined with Interconn’s extensive industry knowledge and experience, Interconn is better equipped than the competition to provide risk-free options for its customers.

Customized Invoicing: Interconn recognizes that the structure of one invoice does not necessarily meet the specific needs for all of its customers. Therefore, Interconn works with each new large commercial and industrial customer to customize an invoice that provides pertinent information in a logical format to meet each customer’s specific needs.

Legal Assistance: When legal representation is necessary for federal energy issues including pipeline cases before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Interconn turns to the Washington attorney who has assisted it for many years in such matters. He is a former FERC staff attorney at an experienced and reputable firm with a keen understanding of the federal energy legal system. Interconn makes his services available to all of its customers on a fee basis.

Backup Fuel/Fuel Systems: Interconn provides propane fuel to those interruptible customers who choose to switch to propane during times of pipeline capacity restrictions or when it is economical. Propane is shipped on separate underground pipelines to the terminal closest to the customer and then trucked to the customer’s storage tank. By providing an alternative fuel, Interconn provides one stop fuel shopping for duel-fuel customers. Interconn also has extensive experience in providing an economic analysis of the installation of a back-up fuel system and can provide advice and off-budget financial assistance when requested.

Producer Services: Interconn uses its extensive market knowledge and relationships with various producers, pipelines, and end users to ensure a competitive advantage for its producer clients. Among several services, Interconn offers expert advice on pipeline connection options, risk management, pricing and hedging options, and various ancillary services to obtain the maximum value for its producer clients. In addition to providing the best and most up-to-date market-related advice and information, Interconn is exceptionally equipped to handle any and all of your marketing and transportation needs. Through long-term relationships with large industrial customers, individual cities, and several large LDCs, Interconn is well-poised to provide the most beneficial options for your natural gas supply.
