FELINFACH & CYMUNED PENNANT DOMESTIC OIL PURCHASE GROUP
Since 2005 Cymuned Pennant, and previously the community group Llais Pennant, have been collating domestic heating oil orders to obtain discounts on the price per litre. As a result the numbers of people taking advantage of the savings have increased. This has then led to further savings as the quantity of oil ordered has increased
Orders have been taken from persons outside of the Village. This has included Cross Inn, Ciliau Aeron, Bethania, Penwch, Aberaeron, Newquay.
We have recently been approached by Ciliau Aeron, and have approached Cilcennin, to amalgamate our purchasing power. The larger the order that we can provide the bigger the discount.
If you know of anyone who would like to save money on their home heating bills tell them to join us. There is no charge or membership fee.
As we all know the price of oil fluctuates greatly and has far more market forces acting upon them than other domestic fuel supplies. Also there is no regulatory bodies protecting the consumer as with mains electricity and gas. The price for oil is quoted as it stands on the day the order is placed.
IF YOU MISS AN OIL ORDER
Don't worry if you ever miss one of the Pennant Syndicate's orders. You can still make an order. Pass your details and requirements as usual and they will be passed to one of the surrounding 'Oil Syndicates' to place an order to save you some money.
All that is required is for the following information to be provided: -
Your full Name;
Full Address - including post code;
Telephone number;
Quantity of oil required; and
any special requirements or access issues (small lorry only, etc)
There will is a minimum order of 500litres.
We are also able to order red diesel for farmers/authorised users

HEATING OIL
(23/03/2026)
I have circulated an email regarding the huge increase in the price of heating oil stated to be due to the conflict in the Middle East. Prices overnight increased by around 40 pence per litre, almost doubling.
This trend will also see rises in petrol and diesel prices. There have also been increases in wholesale gas prices, which with the pricing structure that is in place, is likely to lead to rises in the cost of electricity.
CERTAS MESSAGE
Email sent out by Certas in relation to oil orders and the price that customers will be charged. This is going to be the general process when buying oil from any supplier. Message reads as follows;-
Oil suppliers can no longer place orders with prices on, You will be able place an order but it will be priced 2 days before delivery.
This is a generic email being sent out to all customers…
Due to the increasing conflict in the middle East, companies are unable to offer a fixed syndicate price at this time.
If any of your members still wish to place an order, via the syndicate, the order can be placed and they will receive a price 2 days before its delivered via sms and/or email.
This will however mean that your members will likely receive a different price to each other as it will vary depending on when their order is routed.
*The customer must provide us with a mobile number and/or email address so they can receive the price notification and if they don’t, we cannot accept the order.
If the customer wishes to cancel the order when they receive their price notification, the notification instructs them to email a separate cancellations email address which may mean there is a delay in us or the syndicate being made aware of the cancellation.
