Price data collected by the Office of Energy and Planning
The State Heating Oil and Propane Program (SHOPP) monitors residential retail prices for heating oil and propane to determine the average prices for these fuels in New Hampshire. This program conducts weekly price surveys on Mondays from October through March. As an adjunct to the SHOPP program, OEP also monitors kerosene, gasoline and diesel fuel prices in conjunction with the weekly SHOPP surveys. From April to September, OEP monitors these heating and motor fuels prices monthly. OEP also monitors electricity and natural gas prices monthly throughout the year.

The Office of Energy and Planning does not project or estimate future energy prices. The US Energy Information Agency provides forecasts and analyses of energy prices and their Short Term Energy Outlook can change monthly. Also, please see the Deliverable Fuels Pricing page regarding the pricing of propane, fuel oil, kerosene, diesel fuel and gasoline (so-called "deliverable fuels").
Interactive Fuel Price Calculator
This calculator permits the user to select fuel type, fuel price and system efficiencies to compare a wide range of potential options for selecting a new of supplemental heating system. Please note, however, that replacing an existing system for no other reason than fuel price alone may not be a good choice, because the relationships between fuel prices are likely to change.
