Note from the editor Today, Utility Dive is proud to bring you the second edition of our Power & Gas Index, an ongoing initiative to highlight the close relationship between wholesale natural gas and power prices throughout the nation.
Each month, we will update our P&G Index landing page with the latest EIA data on power and gas prices, as well as publish a piece focused on an important trend in the power-gas nexus.
This month, Robert Walton takes a look at burgeoning natural gas exports from the United States and what impact they could have on domestic power utilities and consumers.
For more information on the Index and an introduction to regional power and gas issues, check out our first P&G Index edition from last month.
Best,
 Gavin Bade
