SUMMARY: The Energy Information Administration predicts most U.S. households will spend the same or less on energy this winter compared to last year. However, colder temperatures are expected, particularly in northern states, potentially increasing gas and electricity costs. States like Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, and Kansas may see natural gas bills rise by $10 to $15 monthly. Meanwhile, households in states such as Alaska, Utah, and Oregon may save on gas costs. Homes using electricity for heating could see a slight increase of about 2%, with regional variations in natural gas prices anticipated across the country.
