据油价网2022年10月20日报道，美国联邦能源管理委员会(FERC)周四在其最新一期的年度冬季评估报告中表示，美国所有地区都有足够的能源资源度过一个“正常”的冬天，但这并不意味着美国所有地区都能安然度过冬天而不受干扰。
如果在美国部分地区出现非季节性的高温，应该可以让美国所有地区安然度过今年冬季供暖季，但今年冬天的任何极端天气事件都可能导致燃料需求暂时激增，威胁电网的稳定。
例如，在新英格兰地区的6个州，发电量是“足够的”，但燃料的限制可能是一个令人头疼的问题。FERC认为德州拥有“强劲”的发电能力，但因无法从邻近州进口燃料而受到限制。
FERC认为，由于美国天然气出口需求的增加和国内天然气库存水平的降低，今年冬天美国的天然气价格将高于去年冬天。对于部分依赖液化天然气进口的美国新英格兰地区来说，液化天然气价格届时可能会特别高。
FERC认为液化天然气的价格是一个值得关注的问题，并准备“解决市场操纵问题”。
FERC说，天然气价格上涨对消费者的影响是最重要的。尽管FERC不监管天然气价格，但FERC有权处理市场操纵问题，FERC打算在这段通胀和价格高度敏感的时期保持特别警惕。
北美能源标准委员会将于周五召开会议，确定天然气和大型电力系统可靠性挑战的解决方案。

FERC Sees High LNG Prices This Winter
All regions in the United States have adequate energy resources for a “normal” winter, but that doesn’t mean all regions will coast through winter without disruption, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said on Thursday in its new annual winter assessment report.
Calls for unseasonably warm temperatures across some parts of the United States should allow all regions of the United States to escape the winter heating season unscathed, but any extreme weather events this winter could lead to temporary surges in fuel demand, threatening the stability of power grids.
In the six New England states, for example, power generation is “adequate”, but fuel constraints could be a headache. FERC sees Texas as having “robust” capacity, but is limited by its inability to import power from neighboring states.
The FERC sees natural gas prices for this coming winter higher than last winter due to rising nat gas demand via exports and lower nat gas storage levels. For New England, which relies in part on LNG imports, the prices could be particularly high.
The FERC sees the price of LNG as a cause worthy of attention and is ready to “address market manipulation.”
“The impacts of rising natural gas prices on consumers are top of mind. Although FERC does not regulate natural gas prices, we do have authority to address market manipulation and we intend to remain particularly watchful during this period of inflation and high price sensitivity,” FERC Chairman Rich Glick said in a Thursday press release.
The North American Energy Standards Board will meet on Friday to identify solutions to reliability challenges with natural gas and bulk electric systems.
