fuel depots
Energy storage facilities
Fuel depots are facilities where fuel is stored in bulk for later distribution or use.
The term appears most often in military and industrial contexts: The air strike targeted enemy fuel depots.
A depot implies a centralized storage point that supplies a wider network—vehicles refuel there, or smaller quantities are transferred elsewhere.
