Vermont Bulk Fuel Discount

  • State legislation passed in 2001 allowed Vermont to advance non-federal funds to the LIHEAP program after July 1 to pay for summer fuel purchase agreements with participating fuel suppliers. Suppliers who sign with the Summer Fuel Purchase (SFP) program quote a price, based on summer rates. They also guarantee a price reduction if prices fall below that quote. Fuel assistance customers get the agreed-upon price only for the fuel purchased with their fuel assistance benefit.
