Liquid Fuel Supply to Power Plants Up 20% 

Power plants in Iran have received 20% more liquid fuel so far this year (started March 2022) compared with the same period of last year, the head of the National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company, a subsidiary of the National Iranian Oil Company, said.
“The rise is due to increasing natural gas consumption in the domestic sector, which has cut gas supply to power stations and compelled them to burn liquid fuel such as diesel and mazut,” Ali Akbar Nejad-Ali was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
“On average, 2,000 tanker trucks provide fuel for power plants per day, which is a very large figure,” he said, adding that due to the increasing liquid fuel consumption, transportation becomes more complicated and in addition to road hazards and environmental pollution, it imposes a huge cost on the country.
