California natural gas prices reach historic lows in early 2026 ›

Monthly average natural gas spot prices in California reached record lows in the first five months of 2026, dropping to values last recorded in the nationwide low-price market of 2024. Record lows were recorded in Northern California's PG&E Citygate and Southern California's SoCal Border Average; SoCal Citygate prices fell to near-record lows but remained higher than some 2024 prices. Several factors contribute to California’s low prices, including above-average inventories and decreasing in-state demand for natural gas-fired electricity.
