Earlier this week the Senate voted to bind the Class One Rail Carriers and the related labor unions to the tentative agreement brokered by the Biden Administration in September, successfully avoiding a rail strike. The National Propane Gas Association (NPGA) worked with the Administration, Congress, and other trade groups to ensure this critical legislation advanced. Additionally, the propane industry sent over 4,500 letters to Capitol Hill regarding this legislation. Congress’ intervention ensures propane rail shipments will continue as parts of the country are experiencing extreme cold weather.

Newly released data from the Energy Information Agency reveals that average electricity prices for both residential and commercial customers increased in 2021, compared to 2020. In 2021, average residential electric prices were 13.66 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), up from 13.15 in 2020. And last year, average commercial electric prices were 11.22 cents per kWh, a jump from 10.59 in 2020. 

Electricity prices vary widely between states and regions. Residential prices were most expensive in Hawaii last year and cheapest in Washington State, at 33.49 and 10.11 cents per kWh respectively. Importantly, propane remains a very cost-effective heating fuel and per million Btu (British thermal unit) of energy; electricity in the U.S. is far more expensive than propane.
