The OilPrices.ie Heating Oil Report 2023

Our report gives you a deeper dive into kerosene heating oil prices in the Republic of Ireland in 2023, particularly the average price for 1000 litres and 500 litres of kerosene broken down by county and month.

A Small Drop After Two Years of Steep Price Rises

Heating oil prices rose by 50% in 2021 and rose again by 84% in 2022, so customers will be happy to see that prices in 2023 fell by 16%. It's a small drop, but will give buyers some hope that the price will continue to fall.

International events have strongly shaped oil prices in recent years. Both the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine have been major influences. The situation in Ukraine and the sanctions on Russian oil still affected oil prices in 2023, but the year saw a return to a more normal market. Prices in 2023 were set more by changes to the international crude oil price and global demand for oil.

The carbon tax increased in May 2023 by €7.50 per tonne of carbon dioxide emitted, from €41.00 to €48.50. This change added around €21 to an order of 1000 litres of kerosene.
