Forecasting the Future of U.S. Natural Gas Prices: Trends for 2025 and Beyond
!Natural Gas Prices Graph
Data gathered from the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), January 2025, showcasing energy prices, macroeconomic indicators, and CO2 emissions.
Rising Demand vs. Supply: A Shift in Natural Gas Pricing
Anticipations indicate that the Henry Hub natural gas price will experience notable growth throughout 2025 and 2026 as demand surges at a pace outstripping supply readiness. This heightened demand is driven primarily by increasing exports from U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities, depleting storage inventories relative to previous years. According to our latest analysis in the January Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), we project an average Henry Hub spot price of $3.10 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) for 2025, escalating further to around $4.00/MMBtu by 2026 following a record low observed during 2024.
Increased demands are evidenced through domestic consumption and export necessities collectively rising by nearly 3%, equating to an additional influx of approximately 3.2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). Conversely, supply improvements will be comparatively muted at just a growth of about 1.4 Bcf/d—thus prompting anticipated price increases nearing a staggering 43% at Henry Hub in this period.
Inventory Trends: A Look Ahead
As forecasted, due to rising demands against limited supply expansions, stored inventories are set to shift dramatically—from being approximately six percent above five-year averages as recorded in December of last year to falling below those rolling averages by Q3 in the upcoming year of 2025.
This trend starkly contrasts with historical inventory conditions noted during both 2023 and early-to-mid-2024 when stock levels were notably elevated.
Driving Factors Behind Increased LNG Exports
The predicted rise in total U.S natural gas demand—projected at roughly an increase of up to 3.2 Bcf/d for 2025, followed by another increment totaling 2.6 Bcf/d in 2026—is spearheaded largely through heightened global LNG export activities which account for considerable market shifts within these years.
Forecasts reveal anticipated jumps within liquified natural gas exports alone amounting to about 2.1 Bcf/d each year due primarily to operational launches associated with new exporting terminals such as Plaquemines LNG and Corpus Christi Stage Three along with Golden Pass LNG poised for initial operations mid-*by late-this next operational segment kicks-off what we expect will be substantial growth momentum ahead through upcoming operational phases set over following forecasts periods ahead into mid-decade runs forth on much robust frameworks built therein!
