Serving The Deliverable Fuels Industry

“ By reauthorizing the National Oilheat Research Alliance for ten years , New Hampshire small businesses and consumers who utilize home heating oil technologies will finally have the certainty they need ,” Shaheen said . “ Additionally , I ’ m glad that my bipartisan provision with Senator Collins to support the adoption of energy-efficient wood energy systems was also included – this will invest in rural energy needs and help create jobs in our state ’ s forest-dependent communities in the North Country .”

The 10-year NORA reauthorization will extend industry support for the research , development and deployment of new , efficient oilheat technologies , Shaheen noted . “ Additionally , it will remove uncertainty associated with repeated short-term reauthorizations and spur investments from NORA partners to create longer-term innovative programs that deliver greater benefits to consumers .

“ Oilheat is used in 6.3 million homes and serves more than 16 million Americans across the country . Since NORA ’ s establishment in 2001 , oil heat consumers have saved nearly $ 600 per

year by using more efficient technologies and practices developed by the program , Shaheen said .

Shaheen has been a steadfast advocate for NORA and included bipartisan legislation in the 2014 Farm Bill that renewed the program and reformed its mission to better benefit consumers , increase safety through technician training and strengthen the industry commitment to NORA without raising consumer costs .

NORA was first authorized by Congress in 2000 to provide funding that would allow the oil-heating industry to provide more efficient and more reliable heat and hot water to consumers .

Under the government sanctioned , mandatory “ check-off ” program , $ 0.002 is collected at the wholesale level on every gallon of heating oil sold to fund NORA ’ s activities in consumer education , professional education , improving energy efficiency and safety , and research .
