One utility serves the northwestern corner of the state and everywhere else heats with delivered fuel, which is why Vermont carries one of the highest propane heating shares in the country. There is no pipeline and no production: propane arrives by truck and rail from terminals in New York, Quebec and southern New England. Freight and winter road conditions are a live part of the delivered price. The figure above is EIA's weekly survey average for Vermont, collected from retail dealers during the October to March heating season and published Wednesday afternoons. No survey runs in the warm months, so the last spring reading stands until the fall. EIA publishes no wholesale price for Vermont, so the chart carries the residential line alone. The wholesale series runs at the regional level instead, on the [East Coast price page](/region/padd1). The Census Bureau's American Community Survey, on five-year estimates, puts propane as the main heating fuel in 19.0% of occupied Vermont homes, the 2nd highest share in the country. A hard winter is a bigger household event here than the national average suggests.

EIA surveys residential propane prices only from October through March, so there is no current residential figure for Vermont right now. The [Mont Belvieu spot price](/spot/mont-belvieu) is the year-round wholesale benchmark, and the last surveyed residential price was $3.733/gal on Mar 30, 2026. The weekly survey restarts in October. ### When is propane most expensive in Vermont? Residential propane runs highest in the middle of the heating season, ordinarily January and February, and cheapest through the summer while [New England stocks](/stocks/padd1a) are building and nothing is drawing on them. The regional wrinkle is that New England has no propane production and no trunk pipeline of its own, so a cold snap here shows up first as a delivery problem: barrels arriving by ship, rail and truck against a small storage base. [Why propane prices rise in winter](/guides/why-propane-prices-rise-in-winter) has the mechanics. ### Why is there no wholesale propane price for Vermont? EIA publishes no state-level wholesale (rack) price for Vermont, so the chart above carries the residential line alone. The wholesale series runs at the regional level instead, on the [East Coast price page](/region/padd1), and the [Mont Belvieu spot price](/spot/mont-belvieu) is the national wholesale benchmark. [How propane is priced](/guides/how-propane-is-priced) walks through the delivered-service stack that separates a rack gallon from a delivered one. ## About this data - Source: EIA State Heating Oil and Propane Program survey - Series: Residential retail propane price - Basis: Residential, retail - Geography: Vermont propane prices - Unit: $/gal - Calculation period: Weekly survey, Oct-Mar heating season - Last observation: Mar 30, 2026 - Update frequency: Weekly, Oct-Mar --- Cite: Residential propane in Vermont propane prices averaged $3.733/gal as of Mar 30, 2026 (EIA).
