Fuel Costs Dropping in Murcia as Plenergy Expands Costa Calida Presence

THE Region of Murcia is set to join in on the low-cost petrol craze, with the expansion of Plenergy in two new areas of the Costa Calida and bringing its total to 21 operating stations in the region. Plenergy, formerly known as Plenoil, has opened stations in Cartagena and in Murcia City, bringing affordable petrol closer to residents and visitors.

Where to find the new low-cost stations

To be specific, the first station, which has two pumps, is located in Cartagena on Calle Floridablanca 6, and the second, which has four pumps, is located in Murcia City on Senda de Granada, 10. These new petrol stations have been placed to meet growing demand from local drivers, amid a context of surging petrol costs.

These stations will be open and under 24-hour a day video surveillance. Additionally, they will have staff present from 7:10am to 9:45pm from Monday to Friday, and from 9:10am to 2:00pm and from 4:10pm to 8:00pm over the weekends.

Plenergy reaffirms position as the most prevalent low-cost station in Murcia

With the new installations, Plenergy, formerly known as Plenoil, has consolidated its reputation as the most present low-cost petrol station brand in the autonomous community, far surpassing Ballenoil’s 14 stations.

According to the CEO of Plenergy, José Rodríguez de Arellano, the aim of the strategy is to “offer users top-quality fuel at the most competitive price on the market, in safe, comfortable, and accessible facilities.”

The move is part of a larger plan by Plenergy to continue growing and reach 500 total operational stations by the year 2027.

Low-cost fuel closer to residents in a context of spiking costs

The timing of the installations just ahead of peak season is also strategic, and especially during July, as Spain has announced the end of temporary VAT cuts on fuel and energy bills on June 30. The cut is ending amid increasing instability and prices in the country, in part caused by the Strait of Hormuz bottleneck as a result of the US-Israel-Iran conflict.
