Spain has reserves of diesel, petrol and kerosene for almost 100 days

Sara Aages' third vice-president and Minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge has insisted that the gas and oil markets in Spain are operating "calmly and normally."

LOIU (BIZKAIA), 13/04/2026.- Un camión de queroseno suministra combustible a un avión antes de despegar este lunes del aeropuerto de Bilbao. El consejero delegado de Repsol, Josu Jon Imaz, ha asegurado este lunes que España es el país "mejor preparado" en Europa para afrontar los riesgos que podría tener la crisis en Oriente Próximo a nivel de abastecimiento de productos como el queroseno -combustible empleado en aviación-. "Repsol hoy sólo tiene una obsesión: garantizar que, en los próximos meses, no falte producto", ha dicho Imaz en el foro 'Wake Up, Spain', organizado por El Español, Invertia y Disruptores, donde se ha mostrado consciente de la "dependencia" que tiene la economía española del turismo, por lo que no se puede "fallar".EFE/Luis Tejido

In press statements following this Tuesday's meeting with gas and oil operators, Sara Aages "third vice-president and minister for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge stressed that in Spain they are operating" calmly and normally "and that the state has reserves of diesel, petrol and kerosene for almost 100 days.

He explained that the situation is good thanks to a strong local infrastructure, since, he explained, Spain has eight refineries, an infrastructure which, he said, 'allows for this guarantee of supply, in addition to the regasification stations and the connection with Algeria through the pipeline '.

Thus, he stressed that 'it is a privileged position compared to the rest of Europe', where gas tanks are above 70% , while Europe is below 50%.

PRICE RELIEF SHOULD BE NOTICED BY CONSUMERS

The easing of tensions between Iran and the United States and the free movement of the Strait of Hormuz have led Aagesen to highlight the downward trend in raw materials and the fall in the price of a barrel of Brent and gas, which, of course, he believes "should affect consumers."

The third vice-president has also assessed the Royal Decree-Law on measures to address the impact of the war in Iran, which he believes "has a positive impact. "

With a view to the meeting of the Council of Ministers on Monday, he has assured us that the Government's objective is "to renew all the measures necessary for the protection of all sectors, the most vulnerable, consumers in general", although it has not advanced what measures will be maintained.
