We are pleased to announce the release of this year's Energy & Propane Industry Survey results!
This year, we introduced our 34th annual survey, which continued providing companies like yours with key benchmarking data for their present and future success. The 2025 Energy & Propane Survey results are based on reported operational and financial data for the heating season spanning from April 2024 through March 2025. This year’s results once again featured additional operational insights from Angus Energy, an industry leader in data analytics. Plus, our continued partnership with the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) helped to supplement our survey findings and maximize benchmarking abilities to assist companies in planning for the future.
“This past winter was an especially cold and lengthy one, yet the majority of heating oil and propane dealers rose to the occasion with remarkable preparedness and resilience,” says Marty Kirshner, CPA, MSA, the Partner leading Gray, Gray & Gray’s Energy Practice Group. “It was as if the industry had been bracing itself, ready to face the storm after several years of mild winters.” Kirshner notes that a renewed sense of stability is beginning to emerge in the energy market, fueling optimism for the road ahead.
“Still, the industry faces a formidable challenge: the ongoing battle to find, train, and retain skilled employees which is a hurdle that could potentially slow growth and expansion. But this year’s survey results reveal a sector that refuses to stand still. From bold investments in employee retention programs to a rising interest in artificial intelligence, dealers are proving their adaptability and determination to secure their future,” says Kirshner.
