Hajj season sees 11.9M barrels of fuel and record electricity levels
During the 1447H Hajj season, there was a noticeable increase in the consumption of gasoline and diesel in the Mecca and Medina regions. Diesel consumption reached 34,500 barrels per day, totaling 5.5 million barrels, while gasoline consumption rose to 39,800 barrels per day, amounting to 6.4 million barrels. This uptick was due to the increased movement of transportation and services for the pilgrims. The Saudi energy system successfully ensured the efficient supply of petroleum and electricity, with stable electrical services and electrical loads in the holy sites exceeding 464 megawatts in Arafat and 375 megawatts in Mina, without any outages.
