From 2024 onwards, a declining trend is forecasted, starting from 12.01 Thousand Gigawatthours and decreasing by approximately 3-4% annually through 2028. This decline highlights a strategic reduction in fuel oil dependency as the country moves towards alternative energy sources.
Future trends to watch:
- An increased focus on renewable energy adoption could further dampen fuel oil demand.
- Policy changes and advancements in energy efficiency might accelerate the shift from traditional fuel imports.
- Global market dynamics and geopolitical shifts could impact import volumes and pricing strategies.
