Nodal Exchange offers Henry Hub natural gas contracts
Natural gas has been a critical component of the North American energy economy for decades, but recent fundamental shifts on both the supply side (production) and the demand side (electricity generation and exports) have brought natural gas back to the front of our domestic energy discussion.
Nodal Exchange’s natural gas products can be used to hedge price risk in the natural gas markets. In addition, our natural gas contracts provide portfolio margining benefits with participants’ Nodal Exchange power portfolios resulting in greater capital efficiency.
