Preparing for Peak Demand 2021: Learning About Pipelines and Propane Supply |
|
Current market conditions indicate the upcoming harvest and winter could be one of the most complicated in recent memory with below-average days of supply and above-average prices in many parts of the country. Is your company prepared to navigate pipeline demand? What is your company doing to prepare?
On August 19 at 2 p.m. Eastern, NPGA’s Propane Supply and Logistics Committee is hosting “Preparing for Peak Demand 2021: Learning About Pipelines and Propane Supply.” During the session, you’ll get a market fundamentals update, including a projection of what to expect during the next six months. The session will conclude with a panel discussion on how to work with pipeline and wholesale operations, including how to best communicate to respond to your customers’ needs in the upcoming months.
