What is OEP doing about the high prices of heating fuels?
OEP has no control or jurisdiction over fuel prices. Prices for deliverable fuels – heating oil, propane, and kerosene – are not regulated. OEP does encourage citizens to take measures towards protecting themselves and reducing their energy and heating bills. OEP maintains frequent communications with terminal operators, the U.S. Coast Guard and other agencies in the region to anticipate and avoid fuel supply disruptions. Collectively, the group monitors a wide range of factors that can influence resupply. These include: weather, in-state and regional inventories, shipping issues, fuel availability from U.S. and foreign sources, price trends, and fuel demand.
