U.S. Natural Gas Demand Off to Slow Start in September

September 4, 2025--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Although overall demand is on the rise, the U.S. natural gas sector has underperformed so far in September, with storage levels coming in below year-ago levels. In August, total U.S. natural gas demand equated to 71.45 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d), nearly 5% above year-ago levels. Nearly 60% of that demand came from the domestic power sector. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) said it was expecting milder weather, however, with electricity sales to the residential sector expected to decline amid forecasts of a warmer-than-average winter.
