Hello and welcome to the web site of the Witheridge Oil Purchase Energy Cooperative (WOPEC), where we hope to be able to demonstrate the value of using our 'bulk' oil buying system as a way of saving you money when you purchase your Home Heating Oil, Derv or Red Diesel.
Rather than waste your time perhaps we should state that at present we only operate this service within the following post code areas:
EX16, EX17, EX18, EX19, EX36, EX37, TA4, TA21, TA22
As an oil user you will be aware that its price can be extremely volatile, fluctuating sometimes daily depending on the World economy, the political situation in the Middle East and the value of the American Dollar to name a few reasons. Most other products you buy have prices that are relatively stable for a reasonably long period, enabling you to research the market and buy at your leisure. Purchasing oil, a necessity for many people who live in rural communities is different, as when it needs replenishing you are forced to purchase it quickly at what ever the prevailing price is. This does not necessarily mean that you have to accept the first price that is quoted to you by your normal oil supplier, as even in an expensive market there are large differences in price between the companies.
Before we can answer the above point you need to be aware of the different ways you can purchase heating oil. So before you consider the merits of joining WOPEC we thought you might find the star rating system shown in the of interest, where we have put together the various buying options available to you in the order that we at WOPEC think offer you the best value for money.
