Liquefied natural gas (LNG) export volumes affect domestic natural gas supply and prices. Higher export volumes reduce the amount of gas available domestically, driving up natural gas prices and ultimately electricity rates. Lower export volumes relieve supply pressure and can help lower power prices.
