The strange supply of 1.3 billion liters of diesel from the Abadan refinery in the 13th government

According to Energy Report, Karamet Viskarmi, the CEO of the National Oil Products Distribution Company, in a press conference a few days ago about the reason for the reduction of power plant fuel reserves in mid-autumn and on the eve of entering the cold season, said: at the beginning of September 2024, which was the beginning of the establishment of the 14th government, the level of reserves Compared to the same time last year, the diesel fuel of the power plants was 43% less and the level of fuel oil reserves of the power plants was 23% less compared to the same time last year, and in total, the level of liquid fuel reserves in the power plants at the beginning of September 2024 compared to the beginning of September 2023 was more than 36 The percentage was lower.
The 43% decrease in the level of diesel reserves in power plants at the beginning of September indicates the lack of sufficient storage of liquid fuel in power plants in the months of June, July and August. Diesel fuel reserves are even more vital than fuel oil reserves for power plants in the winter season, because fuel oil is only allocated to compensate for gas restrictions in 14 steam power plants in the country, but more than 130 large power plants in the country, which are gas or combined cycle, in case of fuel supply restrictions Gas should use diesel as an alternative fuel.
A review of the announcements of the energy exchange shows that Abadan Oil Refining Company, as the only state-owned refinery in the country, had continuous and large volumes of diesel supplies in the international ring of the energy exchange during the months of July and August.
