Specific factors contributing to lower average
spot natural gas prices during the first half of 2012 include:

spot natural gas prices this winter are only partially reflected in this winter's expected household
natural gas expenditures.
The HOGR case reflects a scenario in which more abundant domestic
natural gas resources and better technology enhance
natural gas supplies, keeping projected annual average
spot natural gas prices below $ 4.50 per million Btu through 2040.
In the Reference case, coal generation at existing coal plants is supported by a steady rise in
natural gas prices beyond 2020, with annual average
spot prices exceeding $ 7.50 per million Btu by 2040.
The combination of one of the warmest winters (November - March) in decades and low
spot natural gas prices contributed to low wholesale electric
prices at major market locations during the winter of 2011 - 2012 (see chart below).
