National Fuel Plan

Supporting Plan [SP 04/24] (updated August 2024)

The National Fuel Plan has been developed to provide an agreed planning framework between government agencies, Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) Groups and fuel sector organisations to respond to major disruptions to fuel supplies; document agreed communication and coordination arrangements at the national level for response operations during major disruption of fuel supplies; and support the implementation of regional fuel supply arrangements.

This Plan covers government and fuel sector coordination and responses in the event of a major disruption to fuel supply, including petrol, diesel, aviation fuel and marine fuel.

The Plan is jointly developed by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) and the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE). This plan supersedes the National Fuel Plan 2020.
