Still a Good Value
Throughout the last decade, the price of electricity for residential use has been the most stable when compared to the swings of heating oil, propane and natural gas, according to data compiled in this chart by the NRECA Strategic Analysis Unit. The chart shows that those fuels, vulnerable to shifts in the market and infrastructure, saw surging prices in 2000-2001, followed by steep declines in 2002. For example, the average price of heating oil in 1999 was 87 cents and in a single year soared to $1.31. The story was similar for propane, which climbed nearly 33 percent between: 1999-2000. It then fell dramatically until 2002 and has been steadily increasing by about 13 percent since then. Meanwhile, electricity prices have remained stable, increasing on average just over one percent per year.
