History

A 1998 merger between branches of the Long Island Lighting Company, Brooklyn Union Gas and the KeySpan Energy Corporation resulted in the formation of KeySpan Corporation. The company has continued to expand since that time, and in 2000 it acquired Eastern Enterprises, giving KeySpan several New England gas utility companies.

KeySpan is a conglomerate composed of over 100 energy provider companies. The utility companies comprise unregulated subsidiary service companies as well as regulated utility companies that provide both gas and electric services.

Detailed plans for saving energy include interactive maps showing the places in a home that energy can be wasted. Saving energy through carefully choosing appliances, guarding windows from heat loss and using energy-efficient light bulbs are just a few of the tips offered by the website.

Natural Gas Pricing

Natural gas has been in the news for years for its rapidly rising prices. KeySpan explains its gas pricing in the context of supply and demand. The demand for gas heating as a safe and clean source of energy has made the demand high, leading to higher prices across the country. By using KeySpan’s energy conservation advice, the company hopes to be able to serve more customers as demand continues to rise. The company also receives its natural gas supply from a variety of suppliers, keeping the price steady overall. The profit potential of the sale of natural gas through KeySpan and other natural gas distributors is regulated in the New York market, keeping the price mark-up low. KeySpan also promotes the use of liquefied natural gas, which can be imported and stored easily. Currently KeySpan imports liquefied natural gas from Canada and the Rocky Mountains. Increased use of liquefied natural gas has the potential to reduce prices by increasing gas imports and decreasing the dependence on Gulf sources, which are vulnerable to hurricanes.
