Short-Term Energy Outlook
Jan 9, 2024
This edition of our Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) is the first to include forecasts for 2025.
Electricity generation. We expect solar power to be the leading source of growth in electricity generation in both 2024 and 2025 as 36 gigawatts (GW) and 43 GW of new solar capacity come on line, respectively. The new capacity will boost the solar share of total generation to 6% in 2024 and 7% in 2025, up from 4% in 2023. We forecast that overall U.S. electricity generation will grow by 3% in 2024 and be unchanged in 2025. Driven by our forecast of rising generation from solar and to a lesser extent wind, we expect that electricity generation from coal will decline by 9% in 2024 and by 10% in 2025, due to a combination of higher costs compared with renewables and another 12 GW of coal-fired capacity retiring over the next two years. We expect that electricity generation from natural gas will be unchanged in 2024 and 2025 compared with 2023.

U.S. coal production during the third quarter of 2023 totaled 145.6 million short tons (MMst), which was 2.3% higher than the previous quarter and 5.7% lower than the third quarter of 2022. Third-quarter 2023 U.S. coal exports (24.9 MMst) increased 3.2% from second-quarter 2023 and increased 17.9% from third-quarter 2022. U.S. coal imports in the third quarter of 2023 totaled 1 MMst. All data for 2022 and previous years are final. All data for 2023 are preliminary.
Natural Gas Monthly
Dec 29, 2023
In October 2023, dry natural gas production increased year over year for the month for the 30th consecutive month. Preliminary dry natural gas production in October 2023 was 3,240 billion cubic feet (Bcf), or 104.5 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d). Production was 2.2% (2.3 Bcf/d) higher in October 2023 than in October 2022 (102.3 Bcf/d) and the highest for any month since 1973, when we began tracking dry natural gas production. Gross withdrawals also increased from October 2022.
Monthly Crude Oil and Natural Gas Production

U.S. Movements of Crude Oil By Rail
Dec 29, 2023
Monthly data on rail movements of crude oil have been updated for October 2023. Crude oil movements by rail have significantly increased during the past five years. The data on crude-by-rail (CBR) movements are also fully integrated with EIA’s existing monthly petroleum supply statistics, which already include crude oil movements by pipeline, tanker, and barge.
Petroleum Supply Monthly
Dec 29, 2023
Supply and disposition of crude oil and petroleum products on a national and regional level. The data describe production, imports and exports, movements, and inventories.
Wholesale Electricity Market Data

This site contains spreadsheets with wholesale electricity and natural gas data from seven major trading hubs that cover most regions of the United States. The data are through December 26, 2023, republished, with permission, from the Intercontinental Exchange
U.S. Oil and Natural Gas Wells by Production Rate
Dec 27, 2023
Our Well Distribution Report presents historical, annual state-level data on well distribution by size and technology and analyzes emerging trends for 2022. Crude oil and natural gas wells drilled horizontally through hydrocarbon-bearing formations are among the most productive wells in the United States. The total number of horizontally drilled wells has increased over 78% since 2014. In 2022, 77% of the more than 912,000 U.S. wells produced less than 15 barrels of oil equivalent per day. These wells are mostly older and drilled vertically.

Monthly Energy Review
Dec 21, 2023
The Monthly Energy Review is our comprehensive report on recent and historical energy statistics. According to our December 2023 report, preliminary estimates for September 2023 indicate that U.S. primary energy consumption totaled 7.4 quadrillion British thermal units, which was virtually unchanged from September 2022.

Short-Term Energy Outlook
Dec 12, 2023
Natural gas prices. The Henry Hub spot price in our forecast averages close to $2.80 per million British thermal units this winter (November—March), down more than 60 cents from our November Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO). The downward revision reflects both a warmer-than-average start to the winter, which has reduced demand for space heating in the residential and commercial sectors, and high natural gas production. These two factors have increased natural gas storage inventories. We forecast U.S. natural gas inventories will end the winter 22% above the five-year average (2018–2022), with more than 2,000 billion cubic feet in storage.
