Hassan Mousavi stated that on Tuesday, 873 mcm of natural gas were produced and supplied to the national network. Of this amount, 678 mcm were consumed by the residential, commercial, and small-scale industrial sectors.

Mousavi emphasized that gas consumption in the residential, commercial, and small-scale industrial sectors increased by 38% compared to the same day last year, due to recent rainfall and a drop in temperatures across most provinces.

The spokesperson added that 78% of the total natural gas delivered to the national network was allocated to the residential, commercial, and small-scale 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 consumption and cooperation in ensuring winter fuel supply.
