VP: Hidden energy subsidies fuel smuggling of energy resources

SHANA (Tehran) – The parliamentary deputy to the president stated that hidden energy subsidies in the country amount to a significant sum and are one of the reasons behind the smuggling of energy resources.

Shahram Dabiri, speaking on Saturday at the closing ceremony of the first provincial festival on the emblem of social responsibility in Zanjan, said, "We face issues with energy consumption, partly due to its low cost. The government is planning to reduce consumption levels through public cooperation and adherence to set patterns to prevent disruptions in industries and production."

He added, "Imbalances have gradually developed over the years, influenced by various factors such as mandated pricing and mismanagement."

The vice president emphasized that the president insists on not cutting power to industries to avoid hindering production, but acknowledged that limitations exist.
