The cost of filling your home-heating oil tank has skyrocketed by €200 in just one week, new figures show. The average price for 1,000 litres has climbed to around €1,300, driven by renewed fighting in the Middle East.
Households across Ireland are now facing significantly higher bills ahead of the winter months, with the sudden surge adding hundreds of euros to typical heating costs. The jump represents a steep increase from previous weeks, when prices had been more stable.
Industry sources point to escalating tensions in the Middle East as the primary factor behind the spike, impacting global oil markets. Consumers are being advised to shop around and consider bulk purchasing to mitigate the impact.
The development raises fresh concerns about fuel poverty, with many families already struggling with high energy costs. Advocacy groups are calling for government intervention to support vulnerable households.
