A heating degree day (HDD) is a measure of how cold a location is. It’s derived by comparing the average outdoor temperature to a baseline of 65 degrees. More extreme cold temperatures result in a higher number of HDDs, which typically translate to an increased demand for space heating by energy consumers.
Last week the NPGA published an article found here with data.
Additional HDD data can be found under the Supply and Logistics section on the Member Dashboard of NPGA’s website. For more information, contact NPGA’s Director of State Affairs, Jacob Peterson at jpeterson@npga.org.
