IEA to meet Wednesday over proposed release of reserves, say two EU diplomats
- The governing board of the International Energy Agency will hold an informal meeting today at 1300 local time to discuss the proposed release of oil and diesel stocks, two European Union diplomats said.
- Under pressure from President Donald Trump, the Group of Seven major economies agreed last week to release 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil from emergency reserves and pledged to refrain from energy export restrictions.
- Wars in Iran and Ukraine have curtailed exports and damaged refineries, driving a rise in diesel prices; industry stakeholders remain confused regarding specific volumes Europe and international partners plan to release to address shortages.
- Germany's economy ministry is finalizing approval to release energy reserves, participating in volumes established by the IEA earlier this year as part of the broader 100 million barrel agreement over four months.
- Officials are determining whether the Group of Seven agreement releases the remaining share of an IEA-coordinated 400-million-barrel release from earlier this year or adds extra volumes, a key focus of today's governing board meeting.
