The Energy Regulation Board (ERB) has poured cold water media claims suggesting that Zambia is facing a diesel shortage linked to supply constraints at INDENI Energy Company.
ERB Manager for Public Relations, Namukolo Kasumpa, made it clear that the country at the moment has 150 million litres of diesel in stock.
This include reserves held at various sites countrywide.
She highlighted that the intermittent supply patterns witnessed in certain locations are not due to national shortages.
Kasumpa attributed it to logistical and distributional challenges.
She stressed that the ERB activates remedial measures in cases where such disruptions happen to safeguard market stability and ensure continued fuel availability.
