Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Short-Term Energy Outlook, April 2024
• Global oil consumption. This month we revised the 2022 global liquid fuels consumption data
available in our International Energy Statistics, increasing our assessment of global oil consumption
that year by nearly 0.8 million barrels per day (b/d) compared to last month’s STEO. The historic
data serves as a baseline for our short-term forecasts, affecting our view of energy markets this year
and next. This month’s revision to historic data, as well as current market dynamics, led us to
increase our forecasts for global oil consumption in 2024 and 2025 between 0.4 million b/d and 0.5
million b/d in both years.
• Global oil prices. We forecast the Brent crude oil spot price will average $90 per barrel (b) in the
second quarter of 2024 (2Q24) $2/b more than our March STEO, and average $89/b in 2024. This
increase reflects our expectation of strong global oil inventory draws during this quarter and
ongoing geopolitical risks.
• Natural gas inventories. The U.S. winter natural gas withdrawal season ended with 39% more
natural gas in storage compared with the five-year average. From April through October this year,
we forecast less natural gas will be injected into storage than is typical, largely because we expect
the United States will produce less natural gas on average in 2Q24 and 3Q24 compared with 1Q24.
Despite lower production, we still expect the United States will have the most natural gas in storage
on record when the winter withdrawal season begins in November. As a result of high inventories,
we expect the Henry Hub spot price to average less than $2.00 per million British thermal units
(MMBtu) in 2Q24 before increasing slightly in 3Q24. Our forecast for all of 2024 averages about
$2.20/MMBtu.
• Electricity consumption. We expect hotter summer temperatures this year compared with last year
will increase residential electricity consumption by almost 4% in 2024 compared with last year. The
rise in residential electricity consumption occurs primarily during the summer months (April–
October), supported by our expectation of 7% more cooling degree days than last summer.
• Coal exports. After the Port of Baltimore was closed as a result of the collapse of the Francis Scott
Key bridge, we reduced our forecast for coal exports by more than 30% in April and 20% in May
compared with the March STEO. Baltimore is the second-largest export hub for coal in the United
States.
Although the revisions to historical consumption resulted in more forecast petroleum consumption,
they also decreased demand growth in 2024 compared with our previous STEO. However, the sources of
growth remain the same; non-OECD Asian countries—particularly China and India—drive global liquid
fuels demand growth in our forecast, although we also expect significant growth in the Middle East and
United States.
pressure right at a time of the year when oil demand typically increases because of the spring and
summer driving seasons in the Northern Hemisphere.
The combination of flat production and rising consumption causes our forecast of global oil inventories
to fall by more than 0.9 million b/d in 2Q24, which we expect will add upward pressure to oil prices. We
expect the tighter market balance to keep oil prices relatively elevated, averaging $90 in 2Q24—$2/b
higher than in last month’s STEO.
We forecast oil inventories will begin increasing in 2025 because we assume OPEC+ production will
increase when OPEC+ supply cuts expire. We forecast global oil inventories to increase by an average 0.4
million b/d in 2025, which we expect will put downward pressure on prices. We forecast the Brent crude
oil price will decrease year-over-year from an average $90/b in 4Q24 to an average $86/b in 4Q25, with
annual averages of $89/b in 2024 and $87/b in 2025.
Petroleum Products
Gasoline prices
We forecast U.S. retail gasoline prices will average about $3.60 per gallon (gal) in 2024, an increase of
about 10 cents/gal from our March STEO and a slight increase from the average price in 2023. This
increase is driven by rising wholesale gasoline prices compared with the March STEO as well as higher
crude oil prices. We now forecast the wholesale gasoline price will average more than $2.70/gal in 2024,
also 10 cents/gal more than in 2023. The higher forecast wholesale gasoline prices compared with our
March STEO reflects our expectation of more gasoline exports and lower gasoline inventories, leading to
an increase in the 2024 annual average crack spread for gasoline relative to last month’s forecast.
We expect higher crude oil prices will put additional upward pressure on the gasoline price this year
compared with 2023. Our forecast that crude oil prices in 2024 will be higher than we expected last
month is responsible for about half of the increase in average 2024 gasoline prices compared to the
March STEO. Retail and distribution margins for gasoline—the difference between the average retail
price and the refiner price for resale—were lower in February and March compared with the same
months in 2023. Retail and distribution margins can reflect a wide variety of factors including taxes,
wages, and regional and logistical complications. We forecast these lower retail margins to dampen the
effect of higher crude oil prices and crack spreads on overall retail prices this year. Retail and
distribution margins can be volatile, and they present a source of uncertainty for retail gasoline prices
this summer and through the rest of the year; higher margins than we expect could lead to higher
gasoline prices.
Data from our Weekly Petroleum Status Report show higher gasoline net exports so far this year, which
led us to revise our outlook for gasoline trade compared with our last forecast. We expect gasoline net
exports to increase slightly from 2023 levels this year. Damage related to Ukraine’s attacks on Russian
refineries will contribute to slightly lower international supplies because of reduced Russian production.
We estimate this will have a relatively limited impact on global gasoline availability because Russian
refiners tend to produce significantly more diesel than gasoline, and because increasing liquid fuels
production at new refineries in the Middle East will partially ease international supply pressures.
However, further constraints on global gasoline availability could increase gasoline net exports from the
United States this year, presenting further uncertainty for our U.S. gasoline forecast.
Natural Gas
Natural gas storage
We estimate that U.S. natural gas storage inventories were 39% higher at the end of the withdrawal
season (November–March) than the five-year (2019–2023) average. The United States started the
winter heating season with a 5% surplus to the five-year average. The surplus at the start of winter and a
mild winter that resulted in below-average natural gas consumption in the residential and commercial
sectors led to the large storage inventory surplus at the end of March. The large storage surplus
contributed to low natural gas prices throughout the first quarter of 2024 (1Q24). Natural gas prices at
the U.S. benchmark Henry Hub averaged less than $2.00 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in
both February and March. We forecast the Henry Hub price to average less than $2.00/MMBtu in 2Q24
and about $2.20/MMBtu for all of 2024.
From April through October this year, we forecast less natural gas will be injected into storage than is
typical, largely because we expect the United States will produce less natural gas on average in 2Q24
and 3Q24 compared with 1Q24. Despite lower production, we still expect the United States will end the
injection season with 4,120 Bcf of natural gas in storage, 10% more than the five-year average and the
most on record.
We forecast U.S. dry natural gas production to average about 103 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) from
April through October, down slightly from last year’s average of 104 Bcf/d for the same period. We
forecast U.S. natural gas consumed for electricity generation to average 38 Bcf/d from April through
October, about the same as during the same period last year. If dry natural gas production declines
substantially more than we forecast or natural gas consumed for electricity generation increases more
than we forecast due to hotter summer temperatures, then inventories could fall below our forecast,
potentially resulting in higher prices.
We forecast that U.S. LNG export facilities will run at similar utilization rates as in 2023, adjusted for
seasonality and annual maintenance on liquefaction trains. In April and May 2024, we expect LNG
exports to decline compared with April and May 2023 because two of the three trains at the Freeport
LNG export facility are undergoing annual maintenance, coinciding with lower global LNG demand in
importing countries during the shoulder season. Later in 2024, we expect Plaquemines LNG Phase I and
Corpus Christi Stage 3 to begin LNG production and load first cargoes by the end of the year. In 2025,
the developers of the Golden Pass LNG plan to place the first two trains of this new three-train LNG
export facility in service.
We expect U.S. natural gas exports by pipeline to grow by almost 1 Bcf/d over the forecast period,
mainly because of increased natural gas exports to Mexico. We expect several pipelines in Mexico—
Tula-Villa de Reyes, Tuxpan‒Tula, and Cuxtal Phase II connecting to the Energía Mayakan pipeline on the
Yucatán Peninsula—to reach full service in 2024‒25. These pipelines started partial service in 2022–23
but are not yet fully operational. In addition, flows via the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan underwater pipeline are
likely to increase slightly in 2024, delivering natural gas from the United States to Mexico’s first LNG
export project: Fast LNG Altamira.
U.S. electricity sales to non-residential customers in the commercial and industrial sectors grow in the
forecast by 2% annually in 2024 and 1% in 2025. In some regions, we expect relatively little growth in
non-residential electricity demand because vacancies in office buildings remain high compared with pre-
pandemic levels. Areas of the country with concentrations of new large computing customers, such as
data centers, have the fastest forecast growth in total non-residential electricity consumption; we
expect the West South Central and West North Central Census Divisions together will contribute 50% of
total U.S. non-residential electricity sales growth in 2024 and almost 90% of growth in 2025.
Electricity generation
Generation from renewable energy sources is the main contributor to growth in U.S. electricity
generation over the STEO forecast. In particular, the electric power sector added 19 gigawatts (GW) of
solar capacity in 2023 (a 27% increase), and we expect 37 GW will be added in 2024 and another 32 GW
will be added in 2025. With this new capacity, we expect solar will provide 6% of total U.S. electricity
generation in 2024 and 7% in 2025, up from a 4% share in 2023.
The increased generation from solar is likely to slow growth in generation from natural gas-fired power
plants, even with relatively low natural gas prices in the forecast. We expect the share of total U.S.
natural gas-fired generation in 2024 to average 42%, similar to 2023, before declining to 41% in 2025.
We don’t expect any new combined-cycle gas turbine plants in 2024, another reason why natural gas-
fired generation makes up a smaller portion of electricity generation. Low natural gas prices will
continue to reduce coal-fired generation; the forecast U.S. coal generation share falls to 15% in 2024
and 14% in 2025, compared with 17% last year.
Coal markets
After the Port of Baltimore was closed as a result of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge, we
reduced our forecast for U.S. coal exports by almost 3 million short tons (MMst)—more than 30%-in
April and 2 MMst—about 20%--in May compared with the March STEO. The port is the second-largest
export hub for coal in the United States.
We do not expect this event to have a significant long-term impact on U.S. exports coal exports. The
price and quality of coal are important factors contributing to international demand for U.S. coal, and
we assume some coal previously exported from Baltimore will be shipped from other U.S. ports.
However, with the full closure of the port of Baltimore through at least May, as well as uncertainty
around when the port will fully open and how long it will take to clear bottlenecks, we expect U.S. coal
exports to total 94 MMst in 2024 down 6% relative to the March STEO. We expect exports in 2025 to
increase to 105 MMst in 2025, similar to our forecast in the March STEO.
As a result of growth in electricity generation from renewable sources and low natural gas prices we
expect coal-fired generation to decline, resulting in the electric power sector’s coal consumption to
decline by 8% in 2024 and to further decline by 5% in 2025. As exports temporarily drop in 2Q24 and
electric power consumption declines, we forecast coal production to be 5% lower in April and 4% lower
in May compared with the March STEO. With exports and consumption both down relative to the March
STEO, we have lowered our forecast for coal production in 2024 to about 485 MMst.
Overall, the macroeconomic forecast we use for the STEO is similar to last month. However, the small
upward revision to the forecast for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is notable. Inflation, measured as the
year-over-year growth rate of the CPI, declined from a peak of 9.0% in June 2022 to 3.2% in February
2024. Our forecast assumes that CPI inflation will continue to decline but will not reach 2.0% until the
first quarter of 2025 (1Q25). We previously assumed CPI inflation would reach 2.0% by 3Q24, two
quarters earlier. Therefore, forecasts on monetary policy have also been revised by other agencies. We
now assume that the U.S. Federal Reserve will wait until June, as opposed to May, to reduce its target
for the Federal Funds Rate.
Our forecast assumes the unemployment rate will rise gradually, reaching 3.8% by the end of 2024 and
4.2% by the end of 2025.
Emissions
Total U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions decrease by 1% in 2024 in our forecast, driven
exclusively by a decrease in coal consumption. Coal-related CO2 emissions decline by 8% as a result of
decreasing coal-fired electricity generation. As coal-fired electricity generation declines, several other
generation sources grow, most notably solar. Natural gas and petroleum-related CO2 emissions both
increase by about 1%; slight increases in the electric power sector’s natural gas consumption are partly
offset by decreased consumption in the industrial sector, and petroleum product consumption rises
slightly. CO2 emissions are expected to decrease by an additional 1% in 2025 driven by slight decreases
in total consumption of coal, natural gas, and petroleum products.
Decreasing CO2 emissions in our STEO forecast are consistent with emissions trends observed over the
last several years. However, analysis of emissions by fossil fuel component provides valuable insights
into the nature of these reductions. Petroleum and natural gas are the two largest sources of U.S.
energy-related CO2 emissions. However, most emissions reductions in recent years come from coal,
which represents the smallest share of total emissions. This trend in decreasing coal-related CO2
emissions is observed largely in the electric power sector, where decreases in coal-fired generating
capacity contribute to notable decreases in domestic coal consumption.
Weather
March 2024 was milder than March 2023. The United States averaged 500 HDDs in March, 15% fewer
HDDs than in March 2023, which contributed to an overall relatively mild winter season (November
2023–March 2024). We expect 2Q24 and 3Q24to be hotter in 2024 than it was last year, with 7% more
CDDs than the same period in 2023.

(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 April 4, 2024.
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.

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.
Data sources:
- Utility-scale capacity (power plants larger than one megawatt): EIA-860M Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory, January 2024.
- Small-scale solar capacity (systems smaller than one megawatt): Form EIA-861M Monthly Electric Power Industry Report.
Historical capacity data may differ from other EIA publications due to frequent updates to the Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory.

EIA consulted with the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Department of State, and the intelligence community in
the process of developing the NDAA report, which was previously published as a stand-alone report. Detailed background
and contextual information not repeated here can be found in early editions of the NDAA report.
This appendix is published in the Short-Term Energy Outlook in even numbered months.
OPEC Surplus Crude Oil Production Capacity (f) 4.3 4.2 4.2 3.0 3.7
Note: The term “petroleum and other liquids” encompasses crude oil, lease condensate, natural gas liquids, biofuels, coal-to-liquids, gas-to-
liquids, and refinery processing gains, which are important to consider in concert due to the inter-related supply, demand, and price dynamics
of petroleum, petroleum products, and related fuels.
(a) Production includes crude oil (including lease condensates), natural gas liquids, other liquids, and refinery processing gains.
(b) Consumption of petroleum by the OECD countries is synonymous with “products supplied," defined in the glossary of the EIA Petroleum Supply Monthly,
DOE/EIA-0109. Consumption of petroleum by the non-OECD countries is "apparent consumption," which includes internal consumption, refinery fuel, and loss, and
bunkering.
(c) Biofuels production and consumption are based on EIA estimates as published in the International Energy Statistics. Biofuels production in the third quarter
tends to be at its highest level in the year as ethanol production in Brazil reaches its seasonal peak and is typically lowest in the first quarter as seasonal production
falls in the South/South-Central region of Brazil.
(d) Global production of petroleum and petroleum products outside of Iran is derived by subtracting biofuels production and Iran liquid fuels production from global
liquid fuels production. The same method is used to calculate global consumption outside of Iran.
(e) Estimated inventory level is for OECD countries only.
(f) EIA defines surplus oil production capacity as potential oil production that could be brought online within 30 days and sustained for at least 90 days, consistent
with sound business practices. This does not include oil production increases that could not be sustained without degrading the future production capacity of a
field.
