RAD works with eSmartMetrics Ltd (trading as olive). Olive operates the website, handles payments and works with the oil companies to ensure members get a good price for oil orders.

Anyone can join – homeowner or tenant, business or community building, farms, caravan parks and holiday lets. Standard delivery vehicles are used so if you need a ‘baby’ tanker, we may not be able to deliver to your property.

If you have any queries do not hesitate to contact Emma Simpson at RAD on 01629 592970 / 07540 736118 or email e.simpson@ruralactionderbyshire.org.uk.

* Until recently, the usual definition of fuel poverty was that a household was considered to be in fuel poverty when it needed to spend more than 10% of its income on energy. The most recent Government statistics estimate the number of households in fuel poverty in England is just over 10%. According to a survey of our oil buying scheme members, 39% spend over 10% of their household income on energy bills.
