Petrol station takes months to fully operate after flood – PDAM

March 3, 2023

Has PDAM ever sent out press reports that are optimistic?

Dateline 2022-12-24, Malaysian Reserve:

SEVERAL petrol stations in the states that are badly affected by the flood have to undergo few processes on the closure of the premises as well as to resume their operations after the flood has receded.

Petrol Dealers Association of Malaysia (PDAM) president Datuk Khairul Annuar Abdul Aziz said the petrol dealers must ensure all discharge points at their petrol stations are safely sealed during the flood.

“The dealers need to report to oil companies on the station closure as well as to brief them on the (flood) situation.

“Oil companies will then prompt the oil terminal (storage for oil) to stop sending fuel supply to the stations until further notice…the staff will continuously communicate with dealers on current flood status,” he told Bernama when asked on the process of petrol station closure during the flood.

The Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) market allows energy users to pay a premium per kWh (kilowatt-hour) of electricity produced through low carbon sources; this is a great mechanism to realise greater private finances in accelerating the deployment of renewables.
