The Morrison government says a plan to boost onshore diesel storage will create about 1000 jobs and provide greater fuel security.

Energy Minister Angus Taylor on January 8 announced the opening of applications for a program offering up to $200 million in competitive grants over three years to support the construction of 780 megalitres of diesel storage.
