By the end of last year, utility companies were warned of a then
impending lower-than-average fuel supply, which put plants in danger of facing
fuel shortages last winter. However, America wasn’t the only country afflicted
with and in constant danger of fuel shortages, as countries, particularly in
Asia and in the Middle East, had plants shutting down due to this problem.
India
Over 20 coal-fired plants in India were reported to be in danger of
running low on fuel. However, the Indian government said that fuel shortages in
the country, though considered a national problem, is nothing new, reassuring
everyone that there was no reason to worry about blackouts.
Gaza
The sole power station of the Gaza Strip had reportedly ran out of fuel
March last year, causing major blackouts throughout Gaza. They had it worse
than India, for the fuel shortage caused daily blackouts among households in
Gaza, which had around 1.8 million people.
There is something that can be learned from these instances of fuel
shortages from other countries. For one, it’s important to have a reserve
supply of fuel that can be used in emergencies, disaster or no disaster.
Moreover, should a plant face problems with fuel shortage, it’s beneficial to
rely on an on-site fuel service that can help bring back fuel, relieving the
worry of not having sufficient fuel for your business.
