Speaking on Friday at a meeting on the energy disparities management chaired by President Masoud Pezeshkian and attended by top officials, including ministers and provincial governors via videoconference, Mohsen Paknejad presented a report on his ministry’s recent fuel supply performance.

Paknejad noted that gas and diesel deliveries to power plants have been satisfactory in the past week, with diesel reserves at power plants also showing improvement.

“With colder temperatures expected next week, coordinated measures between the Ministries of Oil and Energy will help us pass the upcoming challenges,” he said.

The minister emphasized the effectiveness of implementing strategic closures to reduce energy consumption, adding that diesel storage levels have remained stable, with no significant decline in reserves at power plants.

He further stated that diesel supply operations are ongoing, with substantial efforts to ensure uninterrupted provision.

“Daily diesel production has seen a significant increase of 10-12 million liters, and these measures will continue until we overcome the current period,” Paknejad said.
