Hassan Mousavi, spokesperson for the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), stated that on Saturday, Feb. 8, 74% of the total gas supplied to the national grid was allocated to the residential, commercial, and small industrial sectors. He noted that 644 million cubic meters (mcm) of gas were consumed in these sectors as temperatures fell in most provinces.

Mousavi added that 870 mcm of natural gas were delivered to the national grid on Saturday.

Following the cold snap 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 adequate winter fuel supplies.
