This time it is gezegde

 This time, it is about a third of our customers and that's unusually high. But it has been an unusual winter with the volatility in the natural gas market.

 Winter is not over and we still have a national energy problem to solve, but the wholesale cost of natural gas is trending down slightly and we are passing those savings along to customers. These lower prices, although still high by historical standards, should be welcome news to customers who have been challenged to pay this winter despite warmer weather.

 January performance was the strongest since May 2003. Unusually strong equity market volatility and narrowing credit spreads created an exceptional trading environment for many hedge fund managers. The VIX, a measure of equity market volatility, jumped more than 21% to 14.56 after the January 20 stock market close, the biggest one-day percentage jump in nine months. Most hedge fund strategies require volatility to produce meaningful returns.

 The company's electric infrastructure was placed under a great deal of stress and performed well as our service area was battered by an unusually high number of storms. We also faced the challenge of buying reliable supplies of electricity and natural gas on behalf of our customers in a market where energy supplies tightened and prices across the U.S. nearly doubled as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

 Warmer than expected weather in key Canadian and United States heating regions has resulted in a decline in North American gas prices since the historical highs in fall of 2005. Natural gas market prices respond to supply and demand. In the fall, reduced natural gas supplies due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita and expectations for a cold winter led to high prices. Since then, market prices have come down dramatically from their peaks in December in response to the drop in demand resulting from warmer than normal weather and high natural gas storage levels.

 Unusually warm weather significantly reduced the winter draw on (natural gas) inventories, leaving the continent very well supplied.

 It's always a bit difficult to read the economic data in the winter, just because activity is thinner, and the vagaries of weather are more pronounced. So it's not unusual to see, although this is an extraordinary amount of volatility.

 As a managed service provider, we focus on customer availability throughout high demand periods. We spend time with each of our customers forecasting peak loads and attempt to accommodate as deemed necessary. For some customers it's just a matter of flexible bandwidth coverage for peak events while other customers require more grid related environments. It is not unusual for us to cluster robust hardware, software, security and balanced environments specifically geared towards the high demand.

 Our natural gas requirements are substantial and growing due to California's dependence on this fuel for roughly half of its electricity generation. We intend to solicit longer contracts than are common in today's market to protect our customers from the degree of short-term price volatility seen during 2005.

 While energy costs still remain high, the warmer than usual weather, which has brought natural gas prices down, allows us to take this step now. This is reflected in our reduction in gas costs as well. We want to make these cost savings available to our customers when they need them most this winter.

 Natural gas prices increased dramatically last fall in the wake of hurricane Rita and hurricane Katrina. Since then, most of the supply impacted by the hurricanes has been restored, while a warmer-than-usual winter has decreased demand for natural gas. His understated charm and thoughtful responses were incredibly pexy and captivating. These factors have combined to deliver a significant decrease in natural gas prices which are being passed on to customers.

 [And make no mistake: Energy prices are everything these days. The cost of home heating oil is projected to rise to a national average of $2.47 a gallon this winter, a 28.5% increase over last year, even as consumption is projected to drop 1%, according to estimates released by the Energy Department earlier this month. Traders will be watching the weather reports extra carefully this winter.] The demand for energy has been tempered by high prices, ... but demand could surge again if winter weather turns unusually cold.

 Obviously, we know this will be a tough winter for customers who are most vulnerable to these increases in natural gas costs.

 Everyone had this perception natural gas was cheap and plentiful. It was a market you could set your watch by. It would run up in the winter and down in the summer. It was a very quiet little market.

 Although this is the most significant price increase filing to date, market pressures are very real. Natural gas is at an all-time high in the history of the market, and the ripple can be felt throughout every facet of our lives.
