• Global oil supply. We forecast global liquid fuels production will increase by 1.0 million barrels per
day (b/d) in 2024. Ongoing OPEC+ production cuts will offset production growth from non-OPEC
countries and help maintain a relatively balanced global oil market next year. Although the conflict
between Israel and Hamas has not affected physical oil supply at this point, uncertainties
surrounding the conflict and other global oil supply conditions could put upward pressure on crude
oil prices in the coming months. We forecast the Brent crude oil price will increase from an average
of $90 per barrel (b) in the fourth quarter of 2023 to an average of $93/b in 2024.
• U.S. gasoline consumption. U.S. gasoline consumption declines by 1% in 2024 in our forecast, which
would result in the lowest per capita gasoline consumption in two decades. An increase in remote
work in the United States, improvements in the fuel efficiency of the U.S. vehicle fleet, high gasoline
prices, and persistently high inflation have reduced per capita gasoline demand.
• Natural gas inventories. We estimate that U.S. natural gas inventories totaled 3,835 billion cubic
(Bcf) feet at the end of October, 6% more than the five-year (2018–2022) average. We forecast U.S.
natural gas inventories will end the winter heating season (November–March) 21% above the five-
year average with almost 2,000 Bcf in storage. Inventories are full because of high natural gas
production and warmer-than-average winter weather, which reduces demand for space heating in
the commercial and residential sectors. We forecast the Henry Hub spot price to average near $3.20
per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in November, down from a price of almost $5.50/MMBtu
a year earlier.
• Coal markets. U.S. coal exports have returned to pre-pandemic levels, driven by record-high global
coal demand stemming primarily from Europe and Asia. We forecast that exports will rise to 97
million short tons (MMst) in 2023, because of increases in both steam and metallurgical coal
exports. We expect steam coal exports to rise by 6 MMst compared with2022 to 45 MMst in 2023
and metallurgical coal exports to increase by 6 MMst to reach 52 MMst over the same period.
Despite this increase in coal exports, we expect U.S. production to fall by more than 100 MMst in
2024 due to reduced demand from the electric power sector. The decline in electricity generation
from coal will be offset by an increase in electricity generation from renewable resources.
• OPEC production capacity. Despite rising OPEC spare production capacity in 2023 and in 2024, we
lowered our estimate of Iraq’s spare capacity by about 0.4 million b/d compared with last month’s
STEO. We removed Iraq’s total production capacity assets in northern Iraq that relied on the
northern Iraq-to-Türkiye pipeline for access to global markets. The pipeline has been out of
commission since March 2023.
Growth in global crude oil supply has been limited in 2023 because of voluntary production cuts from
Saudi Arabia and ongoing production cuts from other OPEC+ countries, which raised OPEC’s spare crude
oil production capacity from 2.4 million b/d in 2022 to a forecast of 4.3 million b/d in 2024. Saudi Arabia
and the United Arab Emirates hold most of this capacity. Despite rising OPEC spare capacity in 2023 and
in 2024, we lowered our estimate of Iraq’s spare capacity compared with last month’s STEO. We
removed production capacity assets in northern Iraq that relied on the northern Iraq-to-Türkiye pipeline
for access to global markets. The pipeline has been offline since March 2023 because of a dispute
between Türkiye and Iraq over an international court ruling.
Although Russia’s total liquids production fell significantly after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early
2022, its production has stabilized in mid-2023 around 10.6 million b/d. We assume Russia’s oil
production will remain relatively flat over the remainder of our forecast period at an average of 10.7
million b/d.
Although it has not directly affected physical oil markets so far, heightened uncertainty around the
recent attacks on Israel and the potential for tensions spreading to a wider area in the Middle East poses
risks to oil supply including available surplus production capacity. At this time, we have not materially
changed our oil production forecast for countries in the region, but the geopolitical situation could
change rapidly.
The United States lifted sanctions on Venezuela’s crude oil exports on October 18 for six months,
contingent on electoral reforms. While the political situation remains in flux, we expect sanctions relief
will only lead to limited increases in oil production. With sanctions relief, we forecast that Venezuela will
increase crude oil production by less than 0.2 million b/d to an average of 0.9 million b/d by the end of
2024. Further increases in Venezuela’s crude oil production will take longer and require significant
investment after years of deferred maintenance and lack of access to capital.
Iran’s crude oil production rose in recent years as it has increased exports to China using heavily
discounted prices. Our assumption is that Iran will raise production by an additional 0.2 million in 2024.
Sanctions on Iran’s crude oil, insufficient upstream investment, and limited oil consumption growth in
China cap Iran’s oil production beyond this limited growth.
Petroleum Products
Gasoline prices and margins
U.S. regular gasoline retail prices declined throughout October, falling from $3.80 per gallon (gal) on
October 2 to $3.47/gal on October 30 because of a sharp decline in wholesale gasoline margins that
began in late September. We forecast retail gasoline prices to remain near $3.40/gal for the remainder
of 2023, resulting in an average 2023 price of $3.55/gal. We forecast a similar average near $3.60/gal for
2024.
Our forecast that retail gasoline prices will rise in 2024 primarily reflects a higher Brent crude oil price.
We expect crude oil prices to contribute an additional 22 cents/gal to the retail gasoline price in 2024
compared with 2023. However, we expect much of this increase to be offset by decreases in the
wholesale gasoline margin over crude oil. We expect the wholesale gasoline margin with crude oil to
average 52 cents/gal in 2024, a decrease of 14 cents/gal from the forecast 2023 average of 67 cents/gal,
resulting primarily from reduced demand for motor gasoline.
• The unclear effects of increased remote work on gasoline consumption since 2020. Although a
higher percentage of the workforce engages in some remote work than before the pandemic,
some studies suggest these workers drive more for nonwork purposes.
• Relatively high gasoline prices and persistently high inflation may be affecting consumer budgets
and reducing discretionary driving.
• An aging population is reducing per person driving. Since 2001, the share of population over the
age of 65 has increased, and this age cohort is less likely to be working. Partially offsetting this
trend, however, is increasing employment as a share of the working age population, which has
reached the highest levels since 2001.
• The replacement of older and less efficient internal combustion engine vehicles for newer
internal combustion engine vehicles with higher fuel efficiency. Purchases of newer vehicles is
partially offset by people keeping their vehicles longer, contributing to an increase in the
average age of the vehicle fleet.
• Increased adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles, which reduces gasoline consumption.
Gradual improvements in fuel efficiency and the growing share of electric vehicles are reducing U.S.
motor gasoline demand per capita. Our gasoline consumption forecast contains a variable for fuel
economy that captures the combined effects that newer, more efficient internal combustion engine
vehicles and electric vehicles have on gasoline consumption. Researchers at Argonne National
Laboratory estimated electric vehicle adoption contributed to about 0.5% less U.S. gasoline
consumption in 2021 than what would have otherwise occurred. The effects of electric vehicle adoption
on gasoline consumption have likely increased since 2021; however, lags in data on vehicle scrappage
rates and evolving telework trends, among other factors, complicate the analysis of attributing the
degree to which electric vehicles have caused more recent declines in gasoline consumption per capita.
We forecast the average person in the United States will consume 402 gallons of gasoline in 2024, down
from a peak of 475 gallons per person in 2004. Because of lower per capita gasoline consumption, we
forecast overall U.S. gasoline consumption to decline in 2024 to 8.83 million barrels per day (b/d), from
8.88 million b/d in 2023 and down from the 2019 pre-pandemic average of 9.31 million b/d.
Natural Gas
Natural gas storage
At the end of October, which marks the end of the U.S. natural gas storage injection season (March–
October), we expect that U.S. working natural gas in underground storage reached 3,835 billion cubic
feet (Bcf), 6% more than the five-year (2018–2022) average.
Driven by strong natural gas production and expected warmer-than-average winter weather, we
forecast U.S. natural gas inventories will end the winter heating season in March with 21% more natural
gas than the five-year average, with just under 2,000 Bcf in storage. We expect U.S. dry natural gas
production to average almost 105 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) during the second half of 2023, up
nearly 2 Bcf/d from the first half of the year. We forecast U.S. dry natural gas production will continue to
average around 105 Bcf/d during the winter heating season. Our expectation of warmer-than-average
winter weather, with 4% fewer heating degree days (HDDs) this winter compared with the prior 10-year
(2013–2022) average, reduces consumption for space heating in the commercial and residential sectors
by 2% compared with the five-year average. Although we expect this winter on average to be warmer
than normal, we expect January and February to be colder than last year’s warmer-than-average
January and February.
Natural gas storage inventories in the East, Midwest, and South Central are all more than 87% full
entering the winter according to our forecast. In the Mountain region, which has much less storage
capacity than the other regions, we estimate storage is 98% full, the highest level on record at the end
of October. Pacific region storage stocks were well below the five-year average all of last winter,
supporting record-high natural gas prices in the region in December 2022, but Pacific inventories have
increased steadily this summer and are almost 80% full entering this winter heating season.
Lower wholesale natural gas prices contribute to lower prices for residential consumers this winter
compared with last year. Changes in residential natural gas prices lag changes in wholesale natural gas
prices because of the nature of some utility regulation. Fixed costs incurred by utility companies are
spread over time, usually resulting in lower residential prices in the winter than in the summer on a per-
unit basis when all charges are combined. We forecast the residential price of natural gas will average
just over $12 per thousand cubic feet this winter, down almost 20% from last year, reducing winter
heating expenditures for consumers that heat their homes with natural gas.
expect winter temperatures in 2024, as measured by heating degree days (HDDs), will be 2% colder than
in 2023. We expect summer temperatures, measured by cooling degree days in our forecast, to be 6%
hotter than in 2023. Both a colder winter and a warmer summer increase electricity use by households.
Electricity generation
Generation from renewable energy sources is the main contributor to growth in U.S. electricity
generation over the STEO forecast horizon. The share of total U.S. generation from renewables rises
from 21% in 2022 to a forecast share of 22% in 2023 and to 24% in 2024. Much of this increase is the
result of an expected 60 gigawatts of new solar generating capacity entering service during 2023 and
2024. We believe that the solar capacity increase, in addition to our forecast of increased hydropower
generation and modest gains in new wind capacity, will reduce generation from fossil fuel-fired power
plants. We forecast the U.S. natural gas generation share will fall from its record high of 42% in 2023 to
41% in 2024, while coal’s generation share continues to fall from 16% to 15%.
About one-third of the forecast growth in solar capacity occurs in the Texas electricity market. Natural
gas is the largest source of power in that market, and we expect the share of generation from natural
gas in Texas will fall from 46% in 2023 to 41% in 2024, replaced by a significant increase in generation
from solar. New solar and wind capacity also is being added in the Midwest electricity region, which we
expect will lead to reduced generation from coal-fired power plants.
Coal markets
Coal production in our forecast totals 585 million short tons (MMst) in 2023 and falls by more than 100
MMst in 2024. The large decrease next year is due to falling demand from the U.S. electric power sector.
Reduced coal production is also a consequence of relatively full coal inventories held by electric
generating plants, in late 2023 there is 50% more coal held by plants than in mid-2022. Even though coal
prices have fallen due to demand reductions, coal-fired power generation is still not cost competitive
based on our expectations that natural gas prices for electric generation will average about
$3.50/MMBtu in 2024.
Declines in U.S. coal production from less domestic demand are partially offset by a return of demand
from export markets to pre-pandemic levels. We forecast that exports will rise by 13% to reach 97 MMst
in 2023, before again falling to 94 MMst in 2024. Exports fell to 69 MMst in 2020 though they returned
to 86 MMst in 2022. The increase in coal exports to pre-pandemic levels is made up of both steam and
metallurgical coal exports to customers in Europe and Asia. Exports to Europe have been bolstered by a
ban on the import of coal from Russia due to the conflict in Ukraine.
Our U.S. macroeconomic forecasts are based on S&P Global’s macroeconomic model. We incorporate
STEO energy price forecasts into the model to obtain the final macroeconomic assumptions.
Non-farm payroll employment increased by 336,000 jobs in September, but monthly additions are
trending down toward pre-pandemic levels. Additions to non-farm payroll averaged 260,000 jobs per
month in 2023 through September, down from a monthly average of nearly 400,000 jobs in 2022. Our
forecast assumes employment growth will slow further in 2023 and 2024, as the unemployment rate
rises to 4.1% by the end of 2024. S&P Global forecasts that slowing GDP growth and a rising
unemployment rate are necessary for year-over-year inflation to fall to the Federal Reserve’s target of
2%.
Emissions
U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions increase in our forecast during the last few months
of 2023 relative to October and remain relatively high during the first few months of 2024 as we enter
the winter. Most of these seasonal emissions increases come from increased consumption of coal,
predominantly for electric power, and natural gas for both electricity generation and space heating.
Seasonal emissions typically peak in January in the United States.
We expect slightly less emissions this winter than in recent winters. We forecast 3% less U.S. CO2
emissions between November 2023 and March 2024 than the average over that period during the past
five winters. Less-than-average winter emissions are the result of several factors, including higher-than-
average temperatures, improvements in energy efficiency, and decreases in the carbon intensity of
electricity and space heating.
We expect U.S. CO2 emissions to decrease by 3% for all of 2023. The largest reduction in CO2 emissions is
from decreased use of coal, down 18% from 2022. Emissions from petroleum remain unchanged as
falling gasoline consumption is offset by rising consumption of jet fuel and diesel, and emissions from
natural gas increase slightly. In our forecast, total energy-related U.S. CO2 emissions fall by 1% in 2024.
Weather
In our forecast, we assume a warmer November than last year, with a total of 488 HDDs, 5% fewer than
in November 2022. We expect a colder 1Q24 with 4% more HDDs than in 1Q23. Overall, we expect an
average of around 3,220 HDDs in the United States this winter, about the same as last winter and 4%
fewer than the previous 10-winter average.

(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 November 2, 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.

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.
Data sources:
- Utility-scale capacity (power plants larger than one megawatt): EIA-860M Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory, August 2023.
- 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.
