Households in Middleton-in-Teesdale and surrounding areas like Weardale and Northumberland currently pay approximately £600 for 500-litre deliveries of heating oil, equivalent to £1.19 per litre. In October 2025, domestic heating oil prices were approximately 52p per litre. Due to a lack of mains gas, many residents face bills exceeding £1,000 to fill their tanks.
Upper Teesdale Agricultural Support Services (UTASS) operates a buying group that combines household orders to reduce costs by roughly 3p per litre. This scheme allows residents to access discounts typically reserved for orders over 1,000 litres by participating in a minimum 500-litre collective purchase.
