Opportunity Summary:
The State Heating Oil and Propane Program (SHOPP) is a U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) cooperative agreement program that provides financial assistance to state energy offices so they can help collect and report key market data on heating oil and propane. The program is designed as a joint data collection effort between heating-oil- and propane-consuming states and the EIA, with the goal of improving the quality, consistency, and timeliness of information used to monitor winter heating fuel markets, especially during periods of high demand or supply disruption.
This opportunity was offered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) through the EIA as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement structure (Funding Opportunity Number DE FOA 0001509; CFDA 81.138). A cooperative agreement generally signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, which fits SHOPP because the data states collect must align with EIA definitions, schedules, and reporting standards to be useful in national-level analysis and publications.
Eligible applicants were limited to state governments, reflecting that the work is intended to be performed by state energy offices or comparable state entities that are positioned to coordinate with local fuel suppliers and market participants. The program anticipated making awards to a broad set of participating states (Expected Awards: 37), consistent with SHOPP being a multi-state, standardized effort focused on heating oil and propane markets where these fuels are commonly used for residential and commercial space heating.
The award structure followed a multi-year framework with annual funding. The cooperative agreements were set up on a five-year cycle covering 2016 through 2021, but funds were provided year by year within that larger period. The total project period ran from September 15, 2016 through September 14, 2021, meaning recipients would be expected to maintain the capability to collect and submit required data across multiple heating seasons, not just a single winter.
In practical terms, SHOPP supports the routine collection and submission of heating oil and propane price and supply-related information that EIA can incorporate into its broader energy information products. By funding state participation, the program strengthens the on-the-ground data pipeline that helps policymakers, emergency planners, and the public understand conditions in winter heating fuel markets and respond more effectively to volatility, shortages, or price spikes.
Key administrative details include the original and current closing date of May 20, 2016, an award ceiling of $330,891, and initial posting and creation dates of March 11, 2016. The funding activity category is Energy, and the issuing agency is DOE (Agency code DOE-01), with EIA as the office described in the opportunity narrative.
