Spain is set to release up to 11.5 million barrels of oil reserves over a three-month period, according to Energy Minister Sara Aagesen. This strategic move comes in response to supply concerns following the partial closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Aagesen announced that the release will take place in phases, with the initial distribution slated to begin within the next 15 days. This decision aligns with the International Energy Agency's wider initiative to release a total of 400 million barrels globally.
Such measures are deemed necessary to mitigate potential disruptions and stabilize the energy market during this critical period of supply uncertainty.
