A 20% Reduction in Energy Consumption
The President also stated that if all government agencies can reduce their energy consumption by 20%, this could enable the continuous supply of energy needed for businesses and industrialists. This action not only helps optimize energy consumption but will also have a direct impact on increasing production and economic activities.
Pezeshkian emphasized the necessity of monitoring the processes of consumption and fuel allocation, saying: "Processes must be managed in such a way that there is no possibility of abuse of fuel support quotas." For example, in the area of fuel supply and consumption for the transportation fleet, the distance traveled should be the basis for fuel quota allocation.
Support for Industrial Units
He also pointed out the necessity of supporting industrial units in terms of fuel and energy supply, stating: "If industrial units need government support for fuel and energy supply, they will receive the necessary support after field evaluations and verifications." This approach can help stabilize and boost the country's industries.
In conclusion, Pezeshkian emphasized the necessity of establishing a specific mechanism for energy supply in accordance with the conditions and needs of each province, city, and region. This is to optimize and enhance the efficiency of energy resource allocation and can help address existing challenges in this area.
