Although natural gas prices in New England at the Algonquin City Gate trading hub (Boston) spiked a few times this past winter, they didn’t spike anywhere near as much as the previous winter. In January 2018, prices at Algonquin spiked to $78.98/thousand cubic feet (see New England’s Lack of Pipelines = Most Expensive Gas in the WORLD). In January 2019, prices at Algonquin never got over $13.56/Mcf. The difference? Foreign LNG imports.
