The EIA's Annual Electricity Outlook 2018 projects U.S. electricity use to grow steadily through 2050, with direct-use generation outpacing retail sales growth. Henry Hub gas prices are projected to average 14% lower through 2050 than in the 2017 reference case, owing to lower-cost Permian and Appalachian supply.
Lower projected Henry Hub gas prices reduce long-run energy costs for feed processors and shift the fuel mix away from other generation sources. The forecast signals a sustained low-price environment for natural gas.
