At present, 48% of the capacity of liquid fuel storage tanks in thermal power stations across the country are full, the spokesman of Iran Power Generation, Distribution and Transmission Company said.
“The volume of liquid fuel reserves in power stations is in a good condition compared to last year, as there are about 800 million liters more fuel stored in the tanks,” the Energy Ministry also quoted Mostafa Rajabi-Mashhadi as saying.
“Of course, we should not think it is enough because due to the cold weather that has increased gas consumption, there is a possibility of reducing the amount of gas injected into power plants. In this case, they will have to use liquid fuel and if so, the volume of tanks will decrease rapidly,” he added.
