OSTI ID:6668852

The New York State Energy Office monitored retail and wholesale prices of No. 2 heating oil during the September 2, 1987--May 31, 1988 heating season in fulfillment of its contractural obligation. In addition, inventories were reported on primary and secondary level stocks. The accumulated information was submitted to EIA biweekly via Dialcom according to pre-arranged schedule. During the peak demand period, December through February, required data was transmitted on a weekly basis. The New York State weighted average retail price of No. 2 heating oil during the reported period revealed a slight price increase early in the season which leveled off after January. The previous year's price increased more dramatically with a peak in February followed by a slight decline. The wholesale prices increased in October--November and started a steady decline in December until April when an increase was reported. Inventory levels in primary storage at the beginning of the season were lower than the previous year. Seasonal build-up occurred during the peak cold months but inventories were well below the previous year. The survey sample design and reporting was in strict compliance with the appropriate guidelines and other contractural agreements between the US Department of Energy and the State of New York. See Attachment 1 for details of the Notice of Financial Assistance Award. All required data, analysis and pertinent information was transmitted via Dialcom on a timely scheduled reporting basis. 6 figs., 5 tabs.
