From the start of Aban this year, which was significantly colder than in previous years, daily gas consumption in the residential, commercial, and small industrial sectors increased by 80 million cubic meters.

This rise resulted in a cumulative increase of over 9 billion cubic meters by the end of Bahman compared to the same period last year.

Despite this surge in residential consumption, the Ministry of Oil has managed to deliver 1.7 billion cubic meters more gas to power plants compared to the same cold months in the year 1401 (2022-2023).

Additionally, compared to the year 1402 (2023-2024), which experienced an unusually warm period from Azar (November 21) to Bahman, over 200 million cubic meters more gas has been supplied to power plants.

Amid the current peak consumption in the residential, commercial, and small industrial sectors, the National Iranian Gas Company is delivering 137 million cubic meters of gas daily to power plants.
