The International Energy Agency will release more than 20 million barrels of diesel as soon as possible and accelerate the rest of its emergency oil draw, Total releases are now set to exceed the 400 million barrels pledged in March. About 330 million barrels have already been released since the Strait of Hormuz crisis triggered the record coordinated stock draw. IEA members still have roughly 100 million barrels left to deliver under the March action, with some countries having released more than their original commitments and others still holding barrels back. The diesel portion disappointed the market. IEA members had discussed releasing as much as 50 million barrels of diesel as part of a broader 100-million-barrel package of crude and refined products. European gasoil prices moved higher following Thursday’s announcement, with traders apparently hoping for a bigger immediate injection. The United States wanted more, too. U. S. officials have pressed other IEA members to make additional emergency barrels available as diesel prices remain near record levels ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston is defending his decision to change his stance on when data centres might be considered for approval to operate in the province. In June, the premier said it was too soon to turn his government’s attention to the matter, and that it would not be discussed until far into the future. A few months later, he softened that stance, opening a door to consider proposals from the sector. “A lot has happened … in the world, geopolitics, all kinds of situations there,” Houston told reporters Thursday. “When you look at some of the positioning of the federal government around data sovereignty, around the regulations that would be required, (they) definitely were thoughtful and had an impact on me.”The premier had previously said discussions about data centres would have to wait until the province had completed major energy generation projects, including the ambitious Wind West offshore wind farms.
