The maximum price of heating oil will increase on Thursday; orders of at least 2,000 litres will then pay a maximum of €0.8905/L, the Economy Ministry announced on Wednesday.
This represents a price increase of 3.1 cents per litre, compared to the current maximum price of heating oil (gas oil for heating H0/H7). For orders up to 2,000 litres, the maximum price will rise to €0.9308/L.
The increase is a result of the price increases for petroleum products and their bio-components on the international markets.
The price of heating oil is climbing sharply: in just one month, the price has increased by a fifth. Heating oil is now at its highest level in almost five months.
