Ramazanali Sangdooni, a member of the Energy Commission of the Parliament, referring to the reduction in the country's gas production capacity and the necessity of consumption management during the cold season, stated: "Given the limitations created in production capacity and the existing imbalance, gas consumption management must be prioritized in our agenda so that we can get through the winter with the least restrictions on energy supply."
The necessity of increasing public awareness
Sangdooni further added: "The return of part of the lost capacity of gas refineries to the production cycle is a valuable step, but still, part of the country's production capacity faces limitations. Therefore, alongside efforts to increase production, consumption must also be seriously managed."

He emphasized that adhering to consumption patterns by subscribers can play a significant role in reducing imbalance. Adjusting home temperatures within standard ranges, using high-efficiency heating equipment, insulating buildings, and preventing energy waste are simple yet impactful actions.
Gas consumption management campaigns
Sangdooni pointed out the importance of gas consumption management campaigns, stating: "Campaigns like 20 can encourage public participation in consumption management by raising awareness. Even reducing the indoor temperature by one degree on cold days can lead to significant national savings and help stabilize the gas network."
He also stressed the need to reform energy consumption patterns in the country, saying: "Developing gas supply infrastructure alone cannot solve the imbalance issue. Alongside expanding the network and increasing production capacity, the efficiency of heating equipment, building standards, and energy consumption productivity must also be improved."
A member of the Energy Commission of the Parliament emphasized: "Safely passing through the cold days of the year requires cooperation from the government, parliament, industries, and the public. If consumption management becomes a public culture, we can ensure the necessary fuel for power plants and industries while maintaining the stability of the gas network."
