How many generators does Shell and Motiva have on standby for retail locations?
Shell and Motiva are ready to deploy generators into hurricane-affected areas. We feel we have an adequate supply of generators, and that we can deploy them rapidly and strategically to impacted areas in the Gulf Coast. We think we are in a good position to restore emergency power and quickly and efficiently bring Shell branded stations back online as soon as it is safe to do so. Have Shell and Motiva distribution terminals been pre-wired? Yes. Power is a priority during hurricane season across Shell and Motiva’s businesses. All of the South region distribution terminals are pre-wired for generators and transformers, so they are able to start safety procedures, restore power and ensure they can start delivering fuel. Backup generators are also pre-staged in safe areas where they can be deployed to the terminal shortly after storm passes, if needed.
