Heating oil: This is the price of the subsidy “winners” this year

The decisions of refineries and other stakeholders in the movement of fuel to their commercial policy regarding granting or not granting discounts on heating oil and of course the fluctuation of global prices and exchange rates are the factors that will determine the price of fuel at the beginning of the heating period in mid-October.

According to what was reported by Dnews, Vice President of the Warehouse Owners Association, Giorgos Asmatoglou, the price of heating oil according to current data will fluctuate around 1.55 euros per liter. However, the interval is long and the price that will be formed after that depends on the fluctuation of global prices and the euro/dollar exchange rate.

It is reported that the initial price in 2022 was 1.41 euros (ie not far from the estimates for this year) and came after the state’s horizontal subsidy of 0.2 euros per liter plus VAT and the additional subsidy of 7.5 cents per liter from refineries. This year no horizontal support from the budget is expected, but a possible discount from refineries has not been announced.

At last year’s levels (350 euros multiplied by school days) but with Expanded income standards For families with children, the heating allowance remains.

Specifically, the income limit remains the same for single people (16,000 euros) and married people (24,000 euros), but Increases for families with children from €3,000 per child to €5,000 per child.
