Heating costs expected to jump 9.2 percent this winter

NEADA projects average heating expenses will reach $995 this winter, driven by colder weather, higher natural gas prices, and rising electricity demand including from AI data centers.

  • This week NEADA's report says heating costs will rise by an average of 9.2% and U.S. households could spend $995 on home heating from mid-November to March.
  • NOAA forecasts December will be about 8% colder than recent averages, with higher natural gas prices, increased electric demand, and an aging electric power grid driving heating demand.
  • Surging demand from artificial intelligence data centers has pushed wholesale prices 267% higher in five years, while canceled clean-energy projects removed 24,958.5 megawatts of planned generation, enough to power more than 13.17 million homes.
  • Low-Income families are being directed to federal assistance programs as about 4 million households could face power shutoffs this winter, NEADA said.
  • This year the average monthly electric bill has already jumped 10%, and NEADA said electric-heated homes could face winter bills near $1,233 t while gas-heated homes may pay about $704.
