Iran Oil Ministry Reports Liquid-Fuel Stocks Built Up for Power Plants Ahead of Winter

Hamid Bord, Iran's acting oil minister, said during a visit to the damaged Rey oil depot on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 that more than 3 billion litres of liquid fuel have been stockpiled for distribution to power plants during the cold season. The Oil Ministry released his remarks; the number is the reported volume in storage, not the amount already delivered to power stations.

Bord said the ministry is also pursuing plans to manage gasoline and diesel consumption and called for lower gas use in winter. Liquid-fuel stocks, together with gas supply, matter for power plants during peak-demand months, but the report offers no quantity for future deliveries or any guarantee of uninterrupted electricity.
