Natural gas storage critical in winter – and year-round

While colder temperatures are here, future weather conditions and temperatures in the Western U.S. remain hard to predict. Natural gas storage not only plays a critical role in supplying seasonal gas needs, it also provides flexibility in the market to respond to calls from the power segment when additional supply is needed to mitigate potential intermittency issues arising from continued renewable growth and coal retirements.

Spire Storage facilities continue to perform exceptionally well for our customers during extreme weather events and by absorbing the intermittency of power generation, serving as a valuable component of energy infrastructure in the Western U.S.

Our facility can serve major markets throughout the Western U.S., including Southern and Northern California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, the Pacific Northwest and the Desert Southwest through the facility’s pipeline connections to Kern River Gas Transmission, Ruby Pipeline, MountainWest Pipeline, MountainWest Overthrust Pipeline and Northwest Pipeline.
