FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 9, 2024
EIA expects rising electricity demand and natural gas prices to affect electricity fuel mix for the rest of 2024
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects that the United States will generate more electricity from renewables and coal in the second half of this year, as electricity demand and natural gas prices increase. In its July Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), EIA forecasts that natural gas prices will be about 36% higher in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year, which the agency expects will lead to a decrease in electricity generation from natural gas—the largest fuel source for U.S. electricity.
