- Now that we are to have a CPRS, do we really have gas for power generation?
- The dynamics have changed dramatically particular with regard to reserves over the longer term – What does this mean?
- Even if we do have gas, is there the infrastructure (and regulatory structure) to deliver it?
- What price gas for power - Will it be commodity linked, vertically integrated or some other model?
- Is the use of LNG netback arrangements likely? Remember this is a “commodity”
- Will the market deliver on power prices – What about the demand side?
