Energy Market Update: Natural Gas on Fire, Electricity Markets Shaky The energy markets are heating up—literally and figuratively. Natural gas prices just spiked 5% to $4.60/MMBtu, the highest we’ve seen since December 2022. What’s driving it? A perfect storm of extreme cold, supply disruptions, record LNG exports, and trade uncertainty. What’s Happening with Gas? ? Weather whiplash – We’ve had a warm stretch, but meteorologists say colder-than-normal temps are coming (March 16-21) for most of the U.S. That’s going to push heating demand even higher. ? Freeze-offs & production hits – Freezing temps knocked out production in key regions. At the same time, LNG exports hit a record 15.6 bcfd last month, pulling even more supply off the market. ? Canada’s tightening the tap? – Rumors of slower gas exports from Canada could make it harder to refill storage, adding more pressure to prices. ? Production is still strong – Despite all this, U.S. producers are cranking it out. Gas production hit 105.8 bcfd in March, up from 105.1 bcfd in February. What About Electricity? ? Illinois is in trouble – Electricity demand (especially from data centers) is skyrocketing, but grid updates and renewable projects are lagging. Price spikes this summer are looking more and more likely. ? New York’s grid is stretched thin – Climate policies have retired a bunch of power plants, but the new replacements aren’t keeping up—pushing up costs and creating reliability concerns. ? Tariffs = Higher Energy Bills? – New tariffs on Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese imports could drive up power generation costs, gasoline, and heating fuel. What’s Next? ? Short-term: Prices will stay volatile, especially with shifting weather patterns. ? Medium-term: LNG exports and trade policies will dictate where we go from here. ? Long-term: Grid modernization is key, but it’s not moving fast enough in key states. Bottom line: If you’re buying energy, now’s the time to lock in a strategy—things aren’t stabilizing anytime soon.

US natural gas futures declined to around $2.7/MMBtu as Hurricane Milton approached Florida, raising concerns about potential disruptions to both demand and production. Natgas prices reached a three-month high of $3 level last week but fell sharply ahead of the storm's formation. Hurricane Milton, currently a Category 4, is expected to make landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast midweek, prompting evacuation warnings. Power restoration efforts are still underway following Category 4 Hurricane Helene, with 275,000 customers across the Southeast awaiting service. Despite the storms, national natural gas demand is projected to remain light for the next 15 days. Production levels also stayed low, with output estimated at 101.2 Bcf/d as companies reduced activity in response to weak prices. Aggressive Energy Who you work with matters to your success!
