SALE OF ADULTERATED OR EXPORT BOUND MOTOR FUELS IN THE LOCAL MARKET

The Energy Regulatory Commission is mandated under Section 95 of the Energy Act No. 12 of 2006 to monitor petroleum products offered for sale in the local market with the aim of preventing motor fuel adulteration or dumping of export bound fuels. In this regard, the Commission undertakes a program of continuous monitoring of the quality of petroleum motor fuels on sale, transport and storage throughout the country. During the period July 2018 - September 2018, 4,456 tests were conducted at 675 petroleum sites (including illegal petroleum sites). From the tests, 637 sites were compliant which represents a 94.4% compliance level. However, tests from 38 sites turned out to be non-compliant. Pursuant to Regulation 15 of the Energy (Retail Facility Construction and Licensing) Regulations 2013, the non-compliant stations and their particular offences are listed hereunder:
