gas-to-wire refers to a business model or strategy where a company with upstream natural gas production directly converts that gas into electricity for sale into the power grid.

Key Advantages:

• Vertical Integration: Monetizes gas reserves directly through power sales, often creating internal hedges against fuel-price-exposure.
• De-risked Supply: Reduces reliance on external gas markets, simplifying dispatch-economics and enhancing project-finance bankability.
• Infrastructure Yield: Transforms a commodity asset (natural gas) into an infrastructure yield vehicle (contracted capacity payments).
• Brazilian Example: [[Origem Energia]]'s 371 MW project with [[Wärtsilä]] in brazil is a prime example, leveraging its own gas from the Alagoas and Tucano basins to fuel power generation.
