Natural Gas Choice Program, CJUMP
Discussion:
Greetings CJUMP member, As promised, and to assist you in your budgeting processes, here is your natural gas pricing report for the current Choice Gas year. The primary goal of the CJUMP program is to provide your school with a strong, budget-friendly natural gas price per therm, with additional goals of saving you money and avoiding market exposure. Nobody can predict what the natural gas market will do in the future, but it has been rising steadily since the beginning of the year. With that in mind, the CJUMP purchasing committee made the following price locks for your region: Central Region (through May 31, 2022): 75% Fixed Rate per therm lock: $0.603 25% Fixed Rate per therm lock: $0.641 What does this mean for your budget? By taking advantage of market dips and locking in your gas, the CJUMP purchasing committee has effectively shielded your school from exposure to an unpredictable natural gas market. Since the committee locked in 100% of your gas, your effective bill rate for this program year will be $0.612 per therm. |
