Government has activated a national fuel emergency plan as global tensions continue to impact supply routes.
Delivering the message on behalf of Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, Lynda Tabuya says Fiji is not facing a fuel shortage, but rising global prices and uncertainty have forced early preparation.
She confirms that fuel remains available across the country, with current stock levels above 50 percent.
“We have put in place the Fiji National Fuel Emergency Action Plan. This is a step-by-step plan that guides how we respond as the situation changes.”
The plan outlines several phases depending on fuel levels, with Fiji currently in the first stage focused on conservation.
“In simple terms, fuel is available with stocks above 50 percent, so let us use it wisely. Fuel is still available, but prices are high and future supply is uncertain.”
Government is encouraging Fijians to reduce unnecessary travel, use public transport, and conserve energy.
If fuel levels drop further, stricter measures could be introduced, including reduced government travel, shorter work weeks, and possible fuel rationing.
