Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Short-Term Energy Outlook, September 2023
• Global oil production. This Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) incorporates Saudi Arabia’s
September 5 announcement to continue its voluntary crude oil production cut of 1 million barrels
per day (b/d) through the end of this year. Previously, the voluntary cut was set to expire at the end
of September. Global oil inventories in our forecast fall by 0.2 million b/d in the fourth quarter of
2023 (4Q23) based on the extension of this production cut.
• Crude oil prices. We expect the Brent crude oil price to average $93 per barrel (b) during 4Q23, up
from $86/b in August. A decline in global oil inventories in the coming months supports the Brent
price in our forecast. The price eases to an average of $87/b by the second half of 2024 because we
expect global oil inventories to rise during that period.
• U.S. gasoline consumption. We reduced our U.S. gasoline consumption forecast because the U.S.
Census Bureau revised its population estimates for the United States to include fewer people of
working age and more people of retirement age, who tend to drive less. The revised population
estimates have also resulted in a downward revision of our vehicle miles traveled (VMT) forecast,
which directly affects motor gasoline consumption. We forecast U.S. gasoline consumption will
average 8.9 million b/d in 2023 and 8.7 million b/d in 2024. Our 2024 forecast is down by 0.2 million
b/d from our August STEO.
• Total U.S. liquid fuels consumption. In our forecast, U.S. liquid fuels consumption averages 20.1
million b/d in 2023, down 0.3 million b/d from last month’s forecast. In addition to reduced gasoline
consumption, this forecast incorporates changes to the Petroleum Supply Monthly that reclassified
natural gasoline and unfinished oils from product supplied to crude oil supply to more accurately
represent the use of these products. These changes also reduce our forecast 2024 consumption by
0.5 million b/d to 20.3 million b/d.
• Natural gas consumption. U.S. natural gas consumption in our forecast averages 80.5 billion cubic
feet per day (Bcf/d) in September, an increase of 5% from last September and a record for
September. The increase follows a period of elevated natural gas-fired electricity generation from
strong U.S. air-conditioning demand in response to summer heat as well as reduced generation from
coal-fired plants.
• Electricity generation. We forecast electricity generation in 3Q23 will increase by 2% in the United
States from the same period last year. The increase largely reflects warmer temperatures this
summer and it follows a year-over-year 4% decline in electricity output during the first half of 2023.
• Propane price. Beginning with this STEO, we are publishing a forecast for the Mont Belvieu propane
spot price. One of our Between the Lines supplements this month discusses this forecast in more
detail.
The Brent spot price averaged $86/b in August, up $11/b since June. Oil prices increased in August
primarily because Saudi Arabia extended voluntary crude oil production cuts through September and
U.S. commercial crude oil inventories ended August at their lowest level since December 2022.
Our current assessment is that global oil inventories are falling by 0.6 million b/d in 3Q23. Inventory
draws moderate to 0.2 million in 4Q23, but OPEC+ cuts to oil production keep global oil production
lower than global oil demand. As a result, we expect the Brent spot price will remain above $90/b
through 1Q24 before averaging $87/b over the remaining three quarters of next year. However, the
potential for continued voluntary production cuts creates some upside risk for oil prices.
increasing by 2.0 million b/d in 2023 and 1.3 million b/d in 2024, led by the United States, Brazil, Canada,
and Guyana. We expect Russia’s production will decline by 0.3 million b/d on average this year and
remain relatively unchanged in 2024. We forecast that OPEC crude oil production will fall by 0.8 million
b/d in 2023 and increase by 0.4 million b/d in 2024.
Petroleum Products
U.S. motor gasoline consumption
We reduced our vehicle miles traveled (VMT) forecast—which directly affects motor gasoline
consumption—following the release of new population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. The
revision increased the share of the U.S. population over 65, which reduced our forecast for VMT and
gasoline consumption because it decreased our estimate of the working-age population commuters. In
our September STEO forecast, the share of the U.S. population that will be over 65 is 18.2% in 2024, up
from our August STEO forecast of 18.0%. This seemingly small increase adds 0.7 million individuals to
the population of adults over 65. Although the total population remained unchanged, the U.S. Census
Bureau revised the population under the age of 15 down by 0.5 million and the working-age population
down by 0.2 million people. We define the working-age population as ages 15–64 because this group
accounts for the bulk of the workforce and regular commuting.
In our September STEO, we forecast U.S. gasoline consumption will average 8.9 million barrels per day
(b/d) in 2023 and 8.7 million b/d in 2024 (down from our August STEO forecast of 8.9 million b/d in
2024). As a result of the revisions, we forecast that gasoline consumption will decline by 1.6% in 2024
compared with this year.
Both seasonal increases in demand along with refinery maintenance will reduce distillate inventories.
Increased seasonal demand will also reduce inventories. East Coast distillate demand tends to increase
in the winter months because many households in the U.S. Northeast use distillate heating oil, while
Midwest distillate demand tends to increase in September and October because of agricultural demand
associated with the harvest season. Refinery maintenance and increased end-of-year distillate
consumption are typical in most years, but our outlook for higher distillate crack spreads also reflects
low global distillate inventories.
Natural Gas
Natural gas consumption
We forecast U.S. natural gas consumption in September to average 80.5 billion cubic feet per day
(Bcf/d), a record high for September and up 5% from the previous record set in September 2022. Based
on our estimates, September would be the third straight month of record natural gas consumption in
the United States, after records in July (86.5 Bcf/d) and in August (86.7 Bcf/d).
The increase in natural gas consumption in the summer has led to a slight increase in U.S. natural gas
consumption in 2023. We forecast U.S. natural gas consumption to average 89.7 Bcf/d for all of 2023, up
1% from 2022. Annual U.S. natural gas consumption set its previous record high in 2022, averaging 88.6
Bcf/d for the year.
In the United States, natural gas provides most of the fuel for the increase in summer electricity
generation. U.S. natural gas consumption for electric power has set records the past two summers as
hot weather has increased demand for air conditioning across the country, particularly in largely
populated areas such as Texas, Florida, and Southern California. Increases in air-conditioning demand
have led to increases in overall electricity generation. The portion of electricity generation that comes
from natural gas has also risen the past two summers reflecting a decline in coal-fired electricity
generation, resulting from the retirement of coal-fired power plants. In 2023, natural gas prices for the
electric power sector have averaged about $2.65/MMBtu from June through August, making natural gas
a more competitive source of electricity generation compared with coal. In addition, several new natural
gas-fired power plants entered service in 2022 and 2023, which increased the electric generation
capacity available from natural gas.
In 2024, we forecast annual U.S. natural gas consumption in the power sector to decline between 1 to 2
Bcf/d in (about 4%) compared with 2023. This decline reflects competition from growing electric
generation capacity from renewable energy sources, and it drives a small decline in total natural gas
consumption next year.
We expect U.S. natural gas-fired power plants will generate a record of more than 1,700 billion
kilowatthours (kWh) in 2023, an increase of 7% from 2022. Increased U.S. natural gas generation has
been stimulated by a substantial decline in fuel costs, which we forecast to average near $3.30 per
million British thermal units (MMBtu) in 2023, down more than 50% from 2022. Between 8 gigawatts
(GW) and 9 GW of new natural gas-fired generating capacity this year is also contributing to the
increased generation. Although natural gas-fired generation will remain the main source of U.S.
electricity in 2024, we forecast that it will decline by 3% in 2024 because of increased generation from
renewable energy sources.
Solar and wind have been a growing source of U.S. electricity generation in recent years. The addition of
new generating capacity from solar (up by 11 GW) and wind (up by 8 GW) slowed slightly in 2022
compared with 2021 due to supply chain issues that raised costs. However, favorable financial incentives
now in place are driving increases in utility-scale solar capacity of 26 GW in 2023 and 33 GW in 2024,
which would be the most solar installations for any year on record.
Renewable capacity additions tend to occur at the end of the calendar year and so affect generation
trends the following year. We forecast U.S. generation from renewables other than hydropower will
increase by 22 billion kWh in 2023 (up 4%) and by 91 billion kWh in 2024 (up 14%).
Electricity prices
We forecast the average price of electricity to U.S. residential customers will increase by 4% in 2023 to
15.7 cents/kWh. Electricity prices rose about 11% in 2022 to 15.1 cents/kWh due to increases in the cost
of producing electricity. Reductions in the wholesale price of electricity, largely due to lower natural gas
prices in 2023, should help lower residential prices in the future; our forecast shows average U.S.
residential electricity prices declining slightly in 2024 to 15.6 cents/kWh.
Some of the lowest retail electricity prices in the United States are in the midwestern states. For
example, the residential price in the West North Central Census Division averaged about 13 cents/kWh
in 2022, and wholesale prices at the Midcontinent ISO averaged 7.4 cents/kWh. In contrast, residential
electricity prices in New England averaged 25 cents/kWh in 2022, and the ISO-New England wholesale
price averaged 9.2 cents/kWh.
Wholesale power prices are good indicators of the current costs of electricity generation. But retail
prices also reflect longer-term costs such as maintaining the transmission and distribution system and
procuring capacity to supply future demand. A lag exists between when costs are incurred and when
they are reflected on retail electricity bills. These longer-term cost components tend to cause retail price
increases over time, despite fluctuations in wholesale electricity prices.
We forecast that wholesale prices for both the Midcontinent and New England independent system
operators in 2023 and 2024 will average about 40%–50% lower than in 2022. Electricity customers in the
West North Central Census Division may see slightly lower rates in 2023 and 2024, reflecting the lower
near-term costs of power generation. However, long-term costs of supplying power continue to increase
in New England because of capacity constraints in the region and the reliance on high-cost petroleum-
fired electricity generation during periods of very cold weather. These dynamics are reflected in our
expected New England retail rate increase of 16% in 2023 followed by a 2% reduction in 2024.
Coal markets
Coal production in our forecast falls to 583 million short tons (MMst) in 2023, 2% less than the 597
MMst mined in 2022. We expect a steeper decline in 2024 when coal production drops 20% to 464
MMst. The reduction in 2024 is due largely to a 20% decrease in electric power sector coal use this year.
The delayed response of production to the drop in coal-fired generation results from coal producers
fulfilling supply contracts already in place for 2023 and the contracts not being renewed for 2024.
At prevailing prices, coal-fired plants are unable to compete effectively with lower-priced natural gas-
fired and renewable energy generation. Poor economics for coal are also resulting in an estimated 9.8
GW (5%) of coal-fired generating capacity being permanently retired this year. Because of greatly
reduced power generation from coal, we forecast that inventories of coal held by power companies will
increase 60% in 3Q23 compared with 3Q22. Even though we forecast coal stocks to decline slightly by
early 2024, the gap between coal produced and consumed will remain wide in 2023 compared with
2022, when high natural gas prices increased summer demand for coal, but labor shortages slowed coal
production and delivery, depleting coal stocks.
Coal stocks allow utilities to generate electricity in times of high demand and when coal production is
low or coal delivery is slow. Almost 60 GW of coal-fired generation has retired since the end of 2018, a
reduction of 25%, and because older units are usually retired first, the current fleet is more energy
efficient and needs less stock to produce the same amount of burn days. As of the end of August, we
estimate utilities held coal stocks that would cover 140 days of power burn, compared with an average
of 76 days over the past five Augusts.
Our forecast assumes U.S. real GDP growth will average 2.2% in 2023 and 1.4% in 2024. We increased
the GDP forecast after data for second-quarter 2023 (2Q23) GDP growth from the U.S. Bureau of
Economic Analysis was stronger than what we had assumed in last month’s STEO.
Inflation, measured as the 12-month growth rate of the Consumer Price Index, declined from 6.3% in
January to 3.5% in August, but it remains higher than the Federal Reserve’s goal of 2.0%. The decline in
inflation was not accompanied by the previously expected rise in the unemployment rate. In the January
2023 STEO, our forecast showed the unemployment rate peaking at 5.2% in 4Q23. Our forecast now
assumes the unemployment rate will average 3.5% in 2023 and 3.9% in 2024. Both estimates were
revised lower by 0.1 percentage point from the August STEO. Our forecast currently assumes the
Federal Reserve will raise the target range for the Federal Funds rate by 0.25 percentage points to 5.50-
5.75% before the end of 2024.
Emissions
Total energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in our forecast decrease by 3% in 2023 compared
with 2022. The largest reduction in CO2 emissions comes from reduced use of coal, with emissions
declining by 20% relative to 2022. Emissions from petroleum decrease by 1%, and emissions from
natural gas increase by 2%.
Our current forecasts of CO2 emissions in 2023 are 2% lower than what we forecast in the September
2022 STEO. The difference is primarily a result of a downward revision in coal-related emissions, which
we forecast to be 16% lower than last year’s estimates. The decrease in coal emissions is partially offset
by an increase in natural gas emissions, which we forecast to be 6% higher than last year’s forecast. The
changes in the coal and natural gas forecasts are mostly due to fuel switching from coal to natural gas
for electric power generation. Relative prices between natural gas and coal are often the primary
consideration in switching between the two fuels. We forecast the cost of generating electric power
from coal in 2023 to be 10% higher than what we predicted in September 2022, while the cost of power
generation from natural gas in 2023 is nearly half of what we anticipated in the September 2022 STEO.
Petroleum-related CO2 emissions are about 2% lower in 2023 compared with the September 2022 STEO.
This decrease largely reflects the recent reductions petroleum consumption related to our incorporation
of changes to the Petroleum Supply Monthly. These changes reduced our estimates of petroleum-
related emissions because natural gasoline and unfinished oils we previously assessed were being
consumed in the United States were actually being blended into crude oil and either exported and
consumed elsewhere or run through U.S. refineries and consumed as other products. Total CO2
emissions in our forecast remain relatively unchanged between 2023 and 2024.
Weather
We forecast that the United States will average 222 cooling degree days (CDDs) in September, 22 more
CDDs than during September 2022 and 18 CDDs more than the ten-year September average. As the
summer comes to an end in 3Q23, we expect an average of 1,481 CDDs in all of 2023, about 5% fewer
CDDs than in 2022.

(b) Total consumption includes Independent Power Producer (IPP) consumption.
(c) Renewable energy includes minor components of non-marketed renewable energy that is neither bought nor sold, either directly or indirectly, as inputs to marketed energy.
EIA does not estimate or project end-use consumption of non-marketed renewable energy.
(d) The conversion from physical units to Btu is calculated using a subset of conversion factors used in the calculations of gross energy consumption in EIA’s Monthly Energy
Review (MER). Consequently, the historical data may not precisely match those published in the MER.

Notes: EIA completed modeling and analysis for this report on September 7, 2023.
The approximate break between historical and forecast values is shown with historical data printed in bold; estimates and forecasts in italics.
Historical data for average price of electricity to ultimate consumers represents the cost per unit of electricity sold and is calculated by dividing
electric revenue from ultimate consumers by the corresponding sales of electricity.
Prices are not adjusted for inflation.
Regions refer to U.S. Census divisions (https://www.eia.gov/tools/glossary/index.php?id=C#census_division).
(a) Average price to all sectors is weighted by sales of electricity to ultimate customers in the residential, commercial, industrial and transportation (not shown) sectors.
Historical data: Latest data available from EIA databases supporting the following reports: Electric Power Monthly and Electric Power Annual.
Minor discrepancies with published historical data are due to independent rounding and possible revisions not yet reflected in the STEO.
Forecast data: EIA Short-Term Integrated Forecasting System.

Notes: EIA completed modeling and analysis for this report on September 7, 2023.
The approximate break between historical and forecast values is shown with historical data printed in bold; estimates and forecasts in italics.
Capacity values represent the amount of generating capacity that is operating (or expected to be operating) at the end of each period.
Changes in capacity reflect various factors including new generators coming online, retiring generators, capacity uprates and derates,
delayed planned capacity projects, cancelled projects, and other factors.
(a) Other sources include hydrogen, pitch, chemicals, sulfur, purchased steam, nonrenewable waste, and miscellaneous technologies.
Historical data: Form EIA-860 Annual Electric Generator Report (final data for utility-scale capacity through 2021); Form EIA-860M Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory, June 2023
edition (preliminary utility-scale capacity estimates for recent months); and Form EIA-861M Monthly Electric Power Industry Report (small-scale solar capacity).
Historical capacity data may differ from other EIA publications due to frequent updates to the Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory.
