From the transcript
What we are trying to do contractually is they will give us 1.2 BCF in exchange for us sending that same volume back to them by March of 2028. So we're not receiving gas that we get to keep and just, you know, use for our customers. We are taking it with the expectation that we repay it in volumes, not in dollars. So there is not extra gas in this market is the point. It is— it is a very tight commodity right now.
