The First Vice President stated that reducing energy consumption is one of the country's main priorities, noting that if consumption patterns are not adhered to, the energy of high-consumption households, especially those with amenities such as pools or private villas, may be calculated at cost price.
The Necessity of Energy Consumption Management
Hassan Rouhani, the First Vice President, in his recent meeting with officials from the Ministry of Energy and the Budget and Planning Organization, referred to the existing challenges in energy supply and rising consumption.

Economic and Social Impacts
Rouhani also pointed to the economic impacts of this decision, stating: "If this plan is implemented, it can help reduce the financial burden on the government while encouraging families to optimize their energy consumption." He added that this policy will be implemented alongside strengthening the country's energy infrastructure.
In this context, the First Vice President also referred to the government's plans to enhance energy efficiency and utilize renewable energy resources, stating that these actions could lead to reduced dependence on fossil fuels and improved environmental conditions.
On the other hand, Rouhani warned that if this issue is not addressed, the government may be forced to impose stricter restrictions to control energy consumption, which would have negative social and economic consequences.
In conclusion, the First Vice President urged all citizens to cooperate in managing energy consumption and to help preserve the environment and natural resources.
