The Essex heating oil market
Essex is one of the more populous counties with oil heating, driven by its large rural hinterland beyond the commuter belt. The Tendring peninsula in the far north-east, the coastal areas around Mersea Island and the Blackwater Estuary, the rural areas of mid Essex around Braintree and Halstead, and the Stour Valley along the Suffolk border all have significant oil dependency. The county's flat terrain and good road network keep delivery costs reasonable, and competition from several national and regional suppliers means prices track close to the national average.
22 regional and independent suppliers deliver here as well as 12 national ones, and prices between them can vary by several pence a litre on the same day. It is worth getting more than one price before you order.
