The population of Kurdistan Province has fully benefited from natural gas, and no household is deprived of this blessing. Ahmad Felehghari, the CEO of the Gas Company of Kurdistan Province, mentioned this in a meeting with the representative of the people of Kurdistan in the Assembly of Experts and a group of officials from the gas company, emphasizing that even in the most remote areas of the province, including the border town of Baneh, all households have been connected to the national natural gas network.
Challenges of Gas Supply in Kurdistan
Felehghari discussed the special conditions of Kurdistan Province and the difficulties of implementing gas supply projects, stating: "The geographical and climatic conditions of Kurdistan, especially in the cold seasons, have posed numerous challenges to the execution of gas supply projects and the expansion of gas transmission networks in the cities and villages of the province." He added that the short working season of about 5 to 6 months a year has been another limiting factor for the progress of the projects.
The CEO of the Gas Company of Kurdistan Province, mentioning the efforts of his colleagues to overcome these problems, referred to the extra efforts of colleagues in both cold and hot weather. He said: "Despite the difficulties, we have never allowed the gas supply services to the people to be interrupted."
Consequences of War and the Need for Solidarity
Felehghari also referred to the American-Zionist attacks on gas refineries during the imposed war and stated: "Due to these attacks, part of the natural gas production capacity was removed from the cycle, and Kurdistan Province was not immune to these attacks." He emphasized that despite all the challenges and wartime conditions, the gas company has never cut off the gas supply to the people.
In conclusion, the CEO of the Gas Company of Kurdistan Province emphasized the necessity of cooperation and solidarity among the people in managing gas consumption, stating: "The National Iranian Gas Company needs the cooperation of the people this winter to manage consumption and make optimal use of natural gas to assist its servants in continuing their services."
