Liquefied natural gas imports at New England terminals helped moderate regional natural gas prices during winter 2018–2019. Sendout volumes rose when spot prices at Algonquin Citygate climbed, which limited further spikes.
Daily prices stayed below $14/MMBtu, compared with nearly $80 during the January 2018 bomb cyclone.
New England lacks underground storage, so LNG cargoes act as the marginal winter supply source and cap regional price spikes. This makes LNG flows a key factor in regional gas price risk.
