Breaking Down EIA’s 2025 Henry Hub Natural Gas Price Forecast

What Energy Buyers Need to Know

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) recently released its latest Henry Hub natural gas price forecast, providing crucial insights for procurement professionals and energy decision-makers. According to the EIA, natural gas prices are projected to average $2.70 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) in 2025—a modest adjustment reflecting a stable yet dynamic market environment.

Key Drivers of the 2025 Forecast

1. Robust Domestic Production

Production levels in key regions like the Permian Basin and Appalachia remain strong. Technological advancements and efficient drilling continue to boost output, keeping supply abundant and competitive.

2. LNG Export Growth

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports are expanding steadily, providing an essential outlet for U.S. gas producers and connecting the domestic market to global demand centers. However, increased LNG capacity has yet to significantly tighten the domestic supply-demand balance.

3. Storage Levels Above Average

Natural gas storage inventories remain comfortably above the five-year average, thanks in part to mild winter conditions. This surplus has helped ease concerns about potential price spikes in the short term.

4. Weather & Geopolitical Variables

While forecasts are favorable, variables like extreme weather events or geopolitical shifts affecting global LNG flows could still influence short-term price volatility.

Implications for Energy Procurement

For procurement specialists and businesses reliant on natural gas, this stable pricing forecast presents an opportunity:

  • Lock in Long-Term Contracts: The current environment favors negotiating longer-term agreements at favorable rates.
  • Monitor Global LNG Demand: Keep an eye on export trends, especially as geopolitical factors and European/Asian demand may shift global flows.
  • Diversify Energy Mix: While natural gas prices are stable now, integrating renewables and exploring emerging nuclear options will help hedge future risks.

Cost of Conflict: Why You’re Paying More at The Pump

What is the cost of conflict? Devastating events continue to unfold in Ukraine and the effects are rippling around the world. With sanctions set in place, you have likely already felt the effects at the gas pump. President Biden signed an executive order on March 8th banning imports of oil, natural gas, and coal from Russia. While Russia is currently the world’s third-largest exporter of crude oil and the world’s second-largest exporter of natural gas, only about 8% of U.S. oil and refined product imports came from Russia in the last year.
