Heating oil prices in Altenburger Land are rising – this is how much you pay now!
The heating oil business is also bringing with it exciting developments this week. As news.de reports, heating oil prices in Germany fluctuate depending on the region and even on a daily basis. The average price for 100 liters of heating oil in Thuringia is currently 100.76 euros. In the Altenburger Land district you pay 99.13 euros, slightly more than average, but the price remains very pleasingly low compared to the previous year.
Anyone who wanted to increase their heating oil in the last few weeks was not acting unwisely. The price of heating oil for a purchase of 3,000 liters is 99.13 euros per 100 liters. In detail, the price development for different purchase quantities is very differentiated:
| Quantity (liters) | Price per 100 liters (in euros) |
|---|---|
| 500 | 111.31 |
| 1000 | 104.42 |
| 1500 | 101.93 |
| 2000 | 100.56 |
| 2500 | 99.67 |
| 3000 | 99.13 |
| 5000 | 98.37 |
Increasing demand and geopolitical influences
The demand for heating oil in Altenburger Land is high, and the current delivery is associated with an average waiting time of 28 working days. One reason for the persistently high price level are global economic factors, including geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. According to tecson.de there are worrying developments, such as a possible military intervention by the USA against Iran, which is driving up oil prices. The conflict is increasing uncertainty in the oil market and contributing to rising prices - an average price of 102.9 cents per liter was recorded on June 18.
Nature also plays a role: forest fires in Canada have a drastic impact on oil exports, which further strains the global supply situation. Here, too, a risk premium is calculated on the prices, as Iran is a key player in the crude oil market and controls access to important transport routes.
Regulatory framework and funding offers
Another important aspect is the upcoming changes to building law: The Building Energy Act (GEG), which comes into force in 2024, does not provide for a general obligation to replace heating systems unless a heating system is over 30 years old. Especially in Altenburger Land there are many buildings that still rely on heating oil - around 30.4% of residential buildings in Germany use this form of energy. Funding is available to support the replacement of outdated heating systems, which also opens up options for owners.
Heating oil prices remain an issue that concerns many people. With smart purchasing behavior and taking current developments into account, consumers can not only protect themselves from unpleasant surprises, but also benefit from fair prices.
