Rationale

LNG export demand and winter supply tightness push Henry Hub gas prices 63% higher. Chain: henry_hub -> aeco_gas_price (+0.7) -> Alberta revenue; henry_hub -> alberta_gdp (delay 1). External energy shock benefiting Canadian producers.

Details

Epoch: 27

Domain: energy

Fiscal cost estimate: +$0.00B CAD net (RIPPLE-derived; LLM omitted)

Causal effects: 2 downstream variables affected (1 immediate)

Divergence after: 61.165

Variable changes

  • henry_hub_price: 2.15 → 3.5

Proposed policy move

henry_hub_price: 2.15 → 3.5 (▲ 1.35)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
