Heating oil prices in the Plön district: Now only 86.87 euros per 100 liters!

Currently, especially on December 22, 2025, the energy situation in Germany has been heavily influenced by various factors, especially the Ukraine War. Heating oil remains an essential source of energy for many households, even though prices often fluctuate and delivery times are unpredictable. 100 liters of heating oil currently costs 87.38 euros in Schleswig-Holstein, while in the Plön district the price for 3000 liters is 86.87 euros. These figures reflect developments in recent weeks that have had a major impact on consumer purchasing activity. According to News.de, purchasing activity for heating oil is currently approaching zero, which makes the current market situation even tighter.

The price range for heating oil in the Plön district shows that larger quantities also bring better prices. The prices for different purchase quantities are as follows:

• 500 Liter: 97,89 Euro
• 1000 Liter: 91,47 Euro
• 1500 Liter: 89,79 Euro
• 2000 Liter: 88,24 Euro
• 2500 Liter: 87,36 Euro
• 3000 Liter: 86,87 Euro
• 5000 Liter: 85,76 Euro

Price development and historical data

According to the survey by Statista, the average consumer price for light heating oil in Germany from 1960 to 2025 can be precisely traced. This long-term database shows immense price fluctuation over decades, influenced by various external factors, particularly geopolitical events.

In 2022, the war in Ukraine caused a sharp increase in oil prices, which temporarily climbed to over two euros per liter. Fortunately, prices have stabilized again, but remain vulnerable to international stock market trends as well as internal factors such as refining and logistics capacity. Developments are continuously monitored and the prices for heating oil are updated daily. The Heizöl24 chart shows that prices fluctuate greatly throughout the year, with phases of weak demand allowing significantly cheaper heating oil to be offered.

Legal framework and funding

Another important aspect in the heating oil debate is the legal regulations. The Building Energy Act (GEG), which comes into force in 2024, does not provide for an obligation to replace heating systems if they are not older than 30 years. The obligation to replace oil heaters that were installed before January 1, 1991 is also interesting. Funding is available to households to switch to renewable energy.

In Germany, around 30.4% of residential buildings, i.e. around 5.8 million buildings, use heating oil. In Schleswig-Holstein, 204,000 residential buildings are affected by this development. The current situation requires quick action because heating oil consumption and the associated prices will continue to have a major impact on the energy industry in the future.
