US Natural Gas Prices Vary Widely Across Regions
Natural gas intrastate gas prices in the United States were reported on September 18, 2026 by Energy Intelligence.
The data shows that natural gas prices varied across different regions. In the Northeast region, prices ranged from $4.50 to $5.50 per million British thermal units (MMBTU). In contrast, the Southeast region had lower prices, ranging from $3.00 to $4.00 per MMBTU.
The report highlights that the price difference between regions is largely due to transportation costs and infrastructure limitations. For example, the Northeast region relies heavily on pipeline transportation, which incurs higher costs compared to other regions.
