Year: 2008
Location: Ramapo, NY
Summary: At the time the project was approved in 2006, the cost of heating oil was $1.18 a gallon and the project had a payback period of under 10 years. As of 2008, the price of heating oil in NY state had tripled and was fluctuating in the range of $4 to $4.70 a gallon, resulting in a 3 year payback.
