Valero on Tuesday said it will continue to provide the Bay Area with gasoline even after it completely idles its Benicia refinery later this year. It will begin to idle its processing units in February as part of a phased approach and expects to have most of its refining processing units idled by April 2026. Along with the idling, the company said it is preparing to submit a Worker Readjustment and Retraining Notification, as required by law when a company with 75 or more employees lays off 50 or more employees in a 30-day period. #benicia #valero
