The U.S. will have its warmest winter in five years, which will reduce demand for natural gas, according to forecaster MDA Federal Inc.
From December to February, the U.S. will experience 2,515 heating-degree days, said Travis Hartman, meteorologist with MDA Federal Inc.’s EarthSat Energy Weather in Rockville, Maryland, in an interview in Calgary today. That compares with 2,767 heating-degree days a year earlier and a 10-year average of 2,577.
