CITGO's Low Cost Heating Oil Program
From the Venezuelan Heart to the U.S. Hearths
CITGO Petroleum Corporation is distributing heating oil at
discounted prices this winter as part of an initiative aimed at
helping poor communities in areas of the country most affected by cold winters.
The initial program was launched in communities in the
Boston area and in the Bronx, in
New York City.
The first phase of the program, in Boston, will offer up to 12 million gallons of heating oil with discounts from market prices. The value of these discounts is nearly $10 million at current market prices. This initiative has been made possible with the full support of CITGO's parent company, Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), the state oil company of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.
In
New York, CITGO is providing up to 8 million gallons of discounted heating oil, which will mean savings in the millions of dollars.

In
Rhode Island, CITGO will provide 3.3 million gallons of discounted home heating oil to low-income families, homeless shelters and community clinics.
In
Pennsylvania, CITGO is providing 5 million gallons of heating oil at 40 percent discount that will benefit as many as 25,000 low-income families in the Philadelphia region.
In
Vermont, CITGO is providing 2.4 million gallons of Venezuelan oil to low-income Vermonters at a 40 percent discount, with an additional 108,000 gallons going to homeless shelters for free.
In
Delaware, CITGO will distribute 1 million gallons of heating oil to low-income residents at a 40 percent discount; this will benefit about 5,000 low-income households in Delaware. Twenty homeless shelters will receive 150,000 gallons of free heating fuel.
In
