This action reflects the commission's serious determination to improve the energy supply situation in the country.

He concluded by emphasizing the importance of cooperation between the public and the government in managing energy consumption, stating: "With more serious public participation and the implementation of the planned measures, we can pass through the winter season with peace of mind."
