Greek Households Hold Back as Winter Heating Bills Loom

In October 2026, Greek households across the country held back on ordering heating oil as the winter season approached. Despite a 40-cent-per-litre price cut, orders remained sparse as consumers primarily contacted suppliers just to compare offers and buy small amounts.

To cope with impending winter heating costs, residents are increasingly turning to alternative methods, such as utilizing air conditioners and firewood, rather than purchasing standard heating oil in bulk quantities.
