Information For Vendors
Please follow this link to the 2011 - 2024 Cumulative Prices
Information from the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) will be used to determine the daily Fixed Margin Price, which will be used to pay oil vendors making deliveries to CEAP households. For FFY 2024, the Fixed Margin Price will be based on the daily New Haven Rack Average OPIS price for ultra-low sulfur red dye distillate heating oil, plus a fixed margin of 50 cents per gallon.
The Fixed Margin Pricing Program also includes county differentials in the pricing mechanism to reflect transportation, delivery, and operation costs. The differentials are based on a county-by-county comparison of retail prices. The county differentials are as follows, and exclude the 50 cents fixed margin:
