Hassan Mousavi stated that of the 872 mcm injected, 649 mcm were used by households, commercial entities, and small industries.

He noted that the increase in gas consumption by households and commercial sectors rose by 29% compared to the same day last year, attributing the surge to colder weather this winter.

Following the drop in temperatures and forecasts of further cooling, 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 to ensure sufficient fuel supplies during the winter.
