Mohammad Reza Aref, the First Vice President, in his recent statements referred to the ongoing gas imbalance in the country and the damages caused by the war, emphasizing the necessity of gas consumption management in winter. He called for transparent communication regarding the gas supply situation and warned high-consumption subscribers that if they do not adhere to the consumption pattern, their gas costs will increase.
Challenges of Gas Supply in Cold Season
Aref further pointed out the existing limitations in the country's gas supply and said: "We must talk honestly with the people about the gas situation and ask them for help in saving and managing consumption." He considered the imbalances of recent years and the damages caused by the war as effective factors in the current gas supply situation and noted that the country needs the cooperation of subscribers and a reduction in unnecessary consumption to overcome the upcoming conditions.
Consequences of Unmanaged Gas Consumption
The First Vice President also referred to the consequences of unmanaged gas consumption and said: "Maintaining the stability of the network in winter is very important, as a gas network outage can lead to significant damages." These statements come at a time when managing gas consumption in the cold months is crucial not only for meeting household needs but also for maintaining network stability and ensuring gas supply to various sectors of the country.
Given this stance, accurate information about the gas supply situation, consumption patterns, tariffs for high-consumption subscribers, and strategies for reducing consumption can help garner more public cooperation in energy management. Aref concluded by emphasizing the necessity of comprehensive cooperation between the public and officials to overcome the upcoming challenges.
