Hassan Mousavi noted that 866 mcm of natural gas were produced and delivered to the national grid on Sunday (March 2). He stated that 78% of the total natural gas supplied to the grid was allocated to the residential, commercial, and small industrial sectors.

Mousavi emphasized that gas consumption in these sectors increased by 9% compared to the same day last year, due to colder temperatures in most provinces across the country.

The spokesperson added that 675 mcm of the total natural gas supplied to the national grid were consumed by the residential, commercial, and small industrial sectors.

Following the cold weather and forecasts of further temperature drops, President Masoud Pezeshkian, Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad, and other officials urged the public to participate in the "2 Degrees Less" campaign. Through video and written messages, they called for optimal energy use and cooperation in ensuring winter fuel supply.
