HealthPRO Natural Gas

The Natural Gas Industry is experiencing several changes. Pipeline expansions into the U.S. are driving the prices up significantly. In the past year alone, there has been an increase of 2 billion cubic feet of gas per day transported to the mid U.S. This increased demand for Canadian gas has required strategic management of our natural gas direct purchase program:

Performance of the HealthPRO Natural Gas Program

• Since November 1998, HealthPRO saved our participating members over $1,943,000.00 on the direct purchase cost of gas. These savings are the difference between the market price and the HealthPRO price over that period.

• Our volume of over 7.2 million gigajoules allows us to negotiate directly with the gas producers in Western Canada eliminating the use of gas marketers and brokers which add to the cost of gas.

• While Natural Gas prices have increased greatly, HealthPRO with assistance from our Plant Engineering Advisory Committee has been able to secure Natural Gas for our membership at prices significantly lower than Market Price.
