3. NATURAL GAS PRICES ARE ON THE RISE
Natural gas prices may rise by up to $3.50/mmbtu by next summer1
thanks to the modest winter we experienced.
Recently, the natural gas market began to evolve from stable prices
to prices that trend upward. Because less gas was used this winter,
record high natural gas levels grew, driving down the already low price
from recent months. As a result of these low prices,
production was sharply cut back.

4. ELECTRICITY PRICES ARE ALSO RISING
Electricity prices generally rise and fall with natural gas prices.
Historically electricity prices have risen an average of 0.5 percent annually2
.
But with more stringent renewable energy standards, it’s likely for prices to
climb closer to 1 percent annually this year.
