MEDIA ADVISORY:
EIA leaders discuss 2023–2024 Winter Fuels Outlook, which forecasts U.S. household winter heating costs

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) will host a webinar to discuss price, consumption, and expenditure trends for major heating fuels for U.S. households for the upcoming winter. In its Winter Fuels Outlook, compared with last winter, EIA expects:

  • U.S. households that heat with natural gas and those that are in the West (regardless of fuel type) will spend less on heating costs this winter.
  • U.S. households that heat with heating oil will spend slightly more this winter.
  • U.S. households that heat with propane or electricity are likely to see costs remain relatively similar this winter.

EIA Administrator Joe DeCarolis will share EIA’s Winter Fuels Outlook forecasts, and a panel of EIA experts will answer questions from attendees.

The webinar is open to the public, but registration is required.

More information about the Winter Fuels Outlook is available at EIA.gov.
