Liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters in the United States have announced plans to more than double U.S. liquefaction capacity, adding an estimated 13.9 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf\/d) between 2025 and 2029, according to our Liquefaction Capacity File<\/a> and trade press reports. The United States is already the largest exporter in the world<\/a> with 15.4 Bcf\/d of capacity. <\/p>\n

We expect energy expenditures this winter will vary based on a home\u2019s main space heating fuel: homes heating with natural gas will pay about the same amount for natural gas as they did last winter, but homes heating with electricity will pay more than they did last winter. Homes heating with propane or heating oil will pay less than they did last winter. <\/p>\n

U.S. ethane exports are poised for significant growth through 2026, driven by robust global demand for ethane as a petrochemical feedstock, substantial U.S. export capacity expansions, and larger vessels to carry ethane exports. In our October Short-Term Energy Outlook<\/a>, we forecast U.S. ethane net exports will grow 14% in 2025, followed by a 16% rise in 2026. The United States does not import ethane. <\/p>\n

An increasing share of U.S. households are using electricity for heating, although natural gas remains the most common heating fuel. In 2024, 42% of U.S. households reported that electricity was their main space heating fuel, according to annual estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau\u2019s American Community Survey<\/a>. Natural gas was the main heating fuel in 47% of homes last year, a decline from 49% in 2010. <\/p>\n

We estimate crude oil inventories in China increased by about 900,000 barrels per day (b\/d) between January and August this year, essentially acting as a source of demand by removing barrels from the global markets. The stock builds in China limited the downward price pressure we would otherwise expect to see with growing inventories, keeping the Brent crude oil spot prices in a relatively tight range around $68 per barrel (b) in the second and third quarters of 2025. <\/p>\n

The value of all energy trade between the United States and Mexico was estimated to be $57 billion in 2024, down from nearly $72 billion in 2023, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau<\/a>. A combination of lower petroleum output from Mexico and lower fuel prices, particularly for petroleum products that make up the bulk of the cross-border energy trade between the two countries, drove most of the decrease. <\/p>\n

In 2023, Texas consumed more energy than any other state. Total energy consumption in Texas was twice as much as in California, the second-highest consuming state, and more than three times as much as in Florida, the third-highest consuming state, according to recently released data in our State Energy Data System<\/a> (SEDS). U.S. total energy use peaked in 2007, and between 2007 and 2023, Texas\u2019s energy consumption increased 21%, while U.S. energy use decreased 5%. According to our SEDS data, most of the energy consumption growth in Texas is attributable to increased industrial activity, population, and electricity demand. <\/p>\n

\n
\n <\/p>\n

In our September Short-Term Energy Outlook<\/a>, we forecast U.S. total distillate inventories to end 2025 and 2026 at lower levels than previous years because of significant inventory draws in 2025, strong export demand, and domestic production declines stemming from refinery closures. In the weeks since the publication of this forecast, U.S. distillate inventories have increased substantially, but they remain relatively low. Distillate fuel oil includes both diesel fuel used in vehicles and home heating oil. Lower distillate inventories elevate the risk of higher prices and price volatility from supply disruptions, especially during periods of high demand like the autumn harvest and winter heating season. <\/p>\n

Arbitrage involves buying electricity when prices are relatively low and selling that electricity when prices are high. <\/p>\n

Over the past few years, net electricity inflows from Canada into New York (New York Independent System Operator, or NYISO) and New England (Independent System Operator of New England, or ISO-NE) have decreased. We identified this trend in an analysis in 2024<\/a>, and the trend has continued through the first eight months of 2025. From January through August 2025, daily net electricity imports from Canada into ISO-NE averaged less than 40% of those occurring over the same months in 2022. During the same period, NYISO and Canada net trade fell to 25% what it was during the same months of 2022. <\/p>\n

In early 2023, the European Union implemented a ban<\/a> on seaborne imports of diesel fuel, commonly called gasoil, from Russia following Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine the previous year. The ban reoriented trade flows<\/a> as Europe imported more diesel from the Middle East and the United States rather than Russia. This summer, Europe\u2019s increased reliance on imports from the Middle East, coupled with conflict-related disruptions to refineries and escalating geopolitical tensions, contributed to a tightened global diesel market. <\/p>\n
