Hmm, sounds like that $4M could have paid for a tank farm to help stockpile some NG to level off the spike. We used to live out in the country on propane. Had to fill the 500 gallon tank around 2 to 3 times a year. You could buy it at market rate at time of fill (cheap in the summer, expensive as heck in the winter) or elect to spend more for a yearly rate lock.Toldyouso wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 7:26 pm I thought this was interesting

“Morton operates the largest municipal gas company in Illinois with over 6,000 meters served. Issues in the supply chain from Texas are causing unprecedented natural gas price hikes.
Morton has spent the same amount of money on natural gas in the last five days than they normally do in a whole year.“
The Village has a write up on their substation in this FAQ. Doesn't appear to have any storage.
