The Energy Regulation Board -ERB- has disclosed that it is looking at identifying new routes that can be used to transport fuel stocks as government addresses challenges being experienced on the Beira route post-election period in Mozambique.
Speaking at a media briefing in Lusaka today, ERB Director General Elijah Sichone says some of the routes being considered are Dar-re-salaam, Walvis Bay and Durban but notes that this will also affect time to be taken for fuel stocks to arrive in the country as these are quite longer routes than the traditional Zimbabwe and Beira routes
Meanwhile, Engineer Sichone has disclosed that the country is secure with regards to the supply of both diesel and petrol, stating that out of the 617 existing fuel sites inspected yesterday, only 19 had completely run out of the commodity, 500 had both petrol and diesel while 56 sites had diesel only and 35 petrol only.
He says that the available diesel stocks stand at 28.6 million litres against the 3.8 million litres daily consumption while available petrol stocks are 14.1 million litres against the 1.6million litres daily consumption.
He says the country fuel stocks are at 7.4 days and 8.6 days for diesel and petrol respectively.
