Homes involved in the Oil Buying Scheme, funded by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, have received five million litres of home heating oil.

The scheme managed by Bryson Energy aims to reduce fuel costs by encouraging bulk buying and lowering the carbon footprint through fewer oil tanker movements in the oil club areas.

It is open to all housing tenures including owner-occupiers, Housing Executive and housing associations as well as private-rented tenants.

Robert Clements, our Sustainable Development Manager said: "The award winning Oil Buying Club Scheme has been a great success and has reduced fuel costs for customers across Northern Ireland.

"The premises is simple, the more people buy oil together, the more they can reduce the cost. The response to the oil buying clubs across Northern Ireland has been extremely encouraging. Our oil buying club scheme is a practical example of how the Housing Executive is making a real difference to transforming people's lives and fostering vibrant communities.
