It was announced last month that home heating oil customers in Northern Ireland will receive a one-off payment
The government has announced how a £100 payment will be paid to home heating oil customers in Northern Ireland.In Northern Ireland, home heating oil is used by two-thirds of households - a significantly larger proportion compared to the around 5% across the whole of the UK.
The Consumer Council in Northern Ireland suggests heating oil currently costs more than £520 for 500 litres, compared to around £220 a year ago. The government issued an update on the scheme on Wednesday but it is still not yet clear when the £100 will be paid, with a statement only referring to "this winter."
"The £100 payment has been calculated to ensure that a typical customer using heating oil does not face a higher rate of growth in their heating costs since last winter, in comparison to those using mains gas who are supported by the Energy Price Guarantee," it continued.
