2022 Compared To 2021

Heating oil prices nearly doubled in 2022, with the average price of 1000 litres of kerosene rising from €680 in 2021 to €1,251 in 2022.

The cost of 500 litres of oil had a similarly steep rise, jumping from €360 in 2021 to €640 in 2022.

2021 saw the end of COVID-19 lockdowns and unprecedented work from home efforts. Many companies sent people home, turned off their heating, and stopped buying kerosene, which helped keep oil prices low in 2021.

2022, however, was dominated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The start of the war saw prices jump more than 50% in March, with the cost of 1000 litres of kerosene rising from €921 to €1,416. Many suppliers started limiting orders and even stopped taking orders online.

Prices peaked again in June and showed a steady decline, ending the year at €1182 for 1000 litres.
