North American Natural Gas Fundamental Model
The North American gas system is the most complex gas network in the world, and there is no single-source of truth from which to make confident, actionable decisions to do business in the gas marketplace. Until now.
Capture the daily dynamic movement of gas prices and flow and clearly understand the relationship between the gas market's daily fluctuations and changes in electricity load and dispatch patterns.
PLEXOS is the most robust simulation platform that solves real-world problems across electric, gas, heat, and water industries—allowing you to make the investment, trading, policy, and pricing decisions to succeed across the energy generation landscape.

Portfolio models and technical analysis of the natural gas market often struggle to forecast the impacts of structural change because they observe the physical market through historical prices.
That's why Energy Exemplar has developed the new Gas Fundamental Market Model with full access to the chronological dispatch, physical market sensitivities and how sensitivity drivers change.
The interaction of gas network drivers such as weather and supply are critical to understanding gas pipeline congestion and market trends.
Energy Exemplar’s Fundamental Gas Model gives you uncompromising abilities to analyze the natural gas market, removing blind spots created in portfolio models and enabling you to understand the entire North American Gas ecosystem in a single platform.
Answer billion-dollar questions with unprecedented clarity
The North American gas market is experiencing a watershed moment. People are faced with significant questions that demand confident and quick answers. Questions like what is the price of natural gas in the future? What happens to the gas system when another major weather event happens? What will happen if large scale carbon policy is passed?
