From the Institute for Energy Research; IER:

“Over two-thirds of Maine households use fuel oil as their primary energy source for home heating, a higher share than in any other state. Due to the Northeast’s high use of fuel oil for home heating and to reduce the risk of fuel shortages due to weather and other issues, the Department of Energy established the Northeast Heating Oil Reserve. The Reserve gives Northeast consumers adequate supplies for about 10 days, the time required for ships to carry heating oil from the Gulf of Mexico to the New York Harbor.”
