Starting from Residential Electricity, we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Residential Electricity →Prices riseGeorgia Power's approved 1,137 MW solar buildout increases demand for solar modules, which lifts demand for solar-grade polysilicon.
64% confidenceResidential Electricity →Prices easeThe added solar supply can displace some gas-fired generation in the residential electricity mix, softening demand for pipeline-grade natural gas.

Solar-Grade Polysilicon →Stands to benefitChina carries 93.5% of the supply share on this edge, so stronger polysilicon demand mainly benefits the country-level production base.
72% confidenceNatural Gas (Pipeline-Grade) →Prices easeSolar additions can displace some gas-fired generation, and Kinder Morgan's 40% share and long replacement horizon make lower gas throughput/pricing pressure the biggest of these suppliers.
66% confidenceNatural Gas (Pipeline-Grade) →Prices easeHop 3
Kinder Morgan, Inc. →Prices easeNew solar capacity on the grid displaces some gas-fired generation, easing demand for pipeline-grade natural gas and pushing its price down for Kinder Morgan's gas-dependent network.
68% confidenceExpand Energy →Prices easeAdded solar capacity displaces some gas-fired electricity generation, which should soften demand and prices for pipeline-grade natural gas; Expand Energy's 15% exposure makes the effect material but not dominant.
