US power burn to outperform on depressed western hydro generation

摘要

Record US power burn levels, propelled by colder weather, could continue to outperform through the approaching shoulder season, thanks to forecasts calling for lower hydroelectric power generation in the Pacific Northwest this year. Through mid-February, US power burn has averaged nearly 26.1 Bcf/d, making month-to-date generator demand the highest on record for February, S&P Global Platts Analytics data showed.
