The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) is expanding the State Heating Oil and Propane Program (SHOPP) for the winter heating season of 2014 to 2015. SHOPP requires that EIA and participating states work together to collect weekly residential heating oil and propane price data. The program traditionally included 24 states in the Northeast and Midwest regions, but the program was expanded when many other states expressed interest in the program after the winter of 2013 to 2014.
Beginning on Oct. 16 and running through the end of March 2015, EIA will publish propane prices for 14 new states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. It will also aggregate propane prices for the U.S. Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain regions.
Adding those states will increase SHOPP’s coverage of households using propane as a heating fuel from 56% to 85%, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
