According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, Iranian power plants have increased their diesel reserves in preparation for the peak winter electricity demand. The reserves stand at 3.2 billion liters. In the first half of this year, power plants consumed an average of 7-8 million liters of diesel per day, while non-power sectors consumed approximately 80 million liters per day. The CEO of the National Iranian Refining and Petroleum Products Distribution Company (NIOPDC) stated that these diesel reserves are intended to replace natural gas with liquid fuel during the peak winter demand period and to support nationwide electricity production during the colder months.
