Storage injections typically ramp up in the fall shoulder season as heating loads are not yet strong enough to counter the large seasonal declines in power loads. Thereafter, the start of early winter weather in November generally increases supply requirements in both the Midwest and East. This year, a prolonged taper in power demand is now being matched by a similarly delayed increase in heating demand – deferring the peak of fall injections. Expectations for continued warmer than normal weather in coming weeks will increase storage injections above last year’s level by the end of October 2024. This weekly natural gas commodity report seeks to explore: • How much are heating loads ramping up? • Where is US gas production increasing? • Will the US storage surplus start to expand again?
