Core Fuel Sector Resilience

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is developing fuel sector resilience and contingency planning to protect critical UK energy supplies during emergencies or disruptions. The policy addresses fuel supply security for essential services including air ambulances, airlines, heating oil, fertiliser distribution, and food supply chains across the UK and devolved nations. Current work involves defining resilience metrics, engaging forecourt operators, and establishing emergency protocols for jet fuel and other critical fuels.
