The Chairman of the Energy Commission of the Iran Chamber of Commerce emphasized the need for fundamental reforms in the governance of the country's energy industry. He pointed out the necessity of establishing regulatory bodies in the energy sector and stated that these bodies can help optimize energy consumption and manage resources.
Challenges and Obstacles Facing Regulatory Bodies
The Chairman of the Energy Commission stated that the two ministries of Oil and Power in Iran are strongly resisting the creation of a regulatory body.
