2021 Compared To 2020
Heating oil prices rose 50% in 2021 compared to 2020, with the average price for 1000 litres of kerosene rising from €455 in 2020 to €680 in 2021. They saw a steady rise through the year, beginning at €546 in January 2021, and ending the year 45% higher at €786 in December.
The cost of 500 litres of oil had a similarly steep rise, jumping from €243 in 2020 to €360 in 2021. The average price of €295 in January 2021 rose to €409 in December, a 39% increase.
COVID-19 in 2020 and the lockdowns it caused in Ireland and internationally changed our working lives. With offices closing and more people working from home, the uncertainty over kerosene sales led to an oversupply, which fed into the low prices seen in 2020. In contrast, 2021 saw many pressures on the energy markets, including a reduced supply of gas from Russia, power station closures and increasing green taxes, resulting in the price growth we saw across the year.
The highest average price for 1000 litres was €815 in November.
