Hassan Mousavi noted that 867 mcm of natural gas were produced and delivered to the national grid on Tuesday, with 80% allocated to the household, commercial, and small industrial sectors.

He emphasized that gas consumption in these sectors increased by 4% compared to the same day last year due to colder temperatures across most provinces.

Mousavi added that 692 mcm of gas were consumed by the household, commercial, and small 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 use and cooperation in ensuring winter fuel supply.
