Demand for Kinder Morgan's products and services, particularly natural gas, can exhibit some seasonality. There is an expectation of lower springtime demand for natural gas, which can put pressure on Permian gas prices. The company benefits from generally strong and growing demand for natural gas, driven by increasing LNG exports, exports to Mexico, and power generation, with a projected growth of over 20% through 2028. A significant portion of Kinder Morgan's contracted project backlog is directly tied to power generation and utility demand, indicating a stable underlying demand for these services. The company's business model relies heavily on long-term, fee-based contracts, which helps to mitigate the impact of short-term commodity price volatility and demand fluctuations.
