Contractor companies help manage the gas imbalance in the country during the winter season. Ramazanali Sangdevini, representative of the people of Gorgan in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, emphasized that the country has previously faced gas imbalance, especially in northern provinces, and the damage to production facilities has exacerbated this situation.
Gas consumption management and its impact on power plants
Sangdevini added that increased gas consumption in the residential and commercial sectors could lead to greater use of liquid fuel by power plants, which has environmental consequences. He noted that a significant portion of the gas production capacity from the damaged South Pars refineries has returned to the production cycle after compensating for the damages.

Return of production capacities and optimization of consumption
The representative of the people of Gorgan stated that two refineries with a total capacity of 180,000 barrels will be operational by the end of the year, adding that the Persian Gulf refinery will contribute 15 million liters to gasoline production and five million liters to diesel production. Additionally, the second phase of the Abadan refinery is nearing completion and will add another 15 million liters to the country's gasoline production capacity.
Sangdevini also emphasized maintaining comfort temperatures in buildings, stating: for gas consumption management, comfort temperatures in workplaces and public buildings should be between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius. He warned that if consumption patterns are not corrected, there is a possibility of tension in gas supply for some provinces.
He stressed that issuing energy-saving certificates is one of the important tools for managing energy consumption in the seventh development plan. Sangdevini noted the role of gas contractor companies, stating: the entry of these companies provides a new opportunity to create balance between energy resources and consumption.
Finally, Sangdevini referred to the financing mechanism for contractor companies, adding: granting prior energy-saving certificates can provide the necessary initial capital. These companies sell the surplus energy obtained from savings on the energy exchange and use this revenue to cover their costs.
