Following the recent blackouts, the government announced the main reason for the power outage was the challenge in supplying liquid fuel to the power plants, early cold and the stoppage of fuel oil burning, but some officials of the previous government claimed that the main reason was a sharp decrease in diesel reserves. This is while the statistics show that in the last months of its activity, despite the reduction of liquid fuel reserves, the previous government has suspiciously exported diesel on a large scale.
The head of research and technology at the National Iranian Petroleum Products Distribution Company emphasized the need to apply artificial intelligence technology in all infrastructures and the country's product distribution chain in order to manage fuel consumption and prevent disruptions and errors, saying: "This company is ready to cooperate with all domestic experts and private companies to build and utilize artificial intelligence technology."
The former CEO of the National Company for Refining and Distribution of Petroleum Products said: Resolving the energy imbalance requires long-term planning and the necessary measures to reduce the energy imbalance should be prioritized.
More than 1.3 billion liters of diesel produced by Abadan Refinery in the months of July and August (at the same time as the critical days of power plant fuel storage) have been offered in the international ring of the energy exchange.
A significant decrease in fuel reserves of power plants at the beginning of autumn sounded the alarm of fuel shortage in the cold season. However, the CEO of the National Oil Products Distribution Company announced the implementation of comprehensive plans to increase the production and distribution of alternative fuels and assured that with the cooperation of other agencies, the problem of supplying fuel to power plants will be solved in winter.
The country's officials continue to blame the gasoline deficit crisis on the people and consider high consumption to be the cause of this crisis. But this is despite the fact that Iranian car manufacturers are the main culprits of the gasoline imbalance crisis with the annual production of 1.5 million high-consumption and gasoline-guzzling cars, and so far no government has been able to deal with them.
The CEO of Iran's National Oil Products Distribution Company announced the increase in fuel consumption in the country's air fleet and said: Considering the capacity of domestic refineries, we do not import in this field.
The spokesman of the stationers' union emphasized that there is no problem in the supply and distribution of gasoline and the work of the fuel stations is being carried out as usual.
The CEO of Abadan Refinery said: In Abadan Refinery, all units and employees are working as usual.
The government spokesman said: As has been emphasized many times, people will not be surprised about the increase in the price of gasoline.
