In March, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm had stated that the SPR would be refilled by the end of 2024. The Biden administration is reportedly putting a hold on plans to replenish the nation’s energy stockpiles, citing cost. The Energy Department announced it would not be purchasing 3 million barrels of oil as part of an effort to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, according to Bloomberg, saying it is “keeping the taxpayer’s interest at the forefront.” The administration’s target for the buys is $79 a barrel, but its purchase of 2.8 million barrels last month averaged approximately $81 per barrel.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Sunday the government would release electronic records about the program, and President Barack Obama has pledged greater transparency for his administration.
