Power Plants’ Liquid Fuel Storage Tanks 80% Full

About 4.3 billion liters of liquid fuel have been stored in the storage tanks of power plants across the country for meeting the peak demand of electricity consumption in the summer, as well as in the winter when lack of gas supply to power stations is likely, managing director of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company said.
“Diesel comprises about 2.6 billion liters of reserves and the rest is mazut. The total amount indicates that over 80% of the power plants’ storage tanks are full,” Jalil Salari was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
“The storage of liquid fuel required by power plants in the first quarter of the current Iranian year [March 21-June 21] shows a 100% increase compared with the same period of last year,” he added.
