Member states agreed on 11 March to release strategic stockpiles after energy prices surged following the outbreak of the conflict. The agency said the move represents the largest coordinated response of its kind. “Individual implementation plans have been submitted to the IEA by Member countries. These plans indicate that stocks will be made available by IEA Member countries in Asia Oceania immediately,” the agency said. It added that “stocks from IEA Member countries in the Americas and Europe will be made available starting from the end of March”.
