Short-Term Energy Outlook

The Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO) is a regular report that provides predictions about how much energy—such as oil, natural gas, and electricity—will be used and how prices might change in the near future, typically over the next few months. It helps businesses, policymakers, and consumers understand current trends and make informed decisions regarding energy supply, demand, and costs. The outlook considers factors like weather, economic activity, and global markets to estimate short-term energy needs and pricing.
