Increasing Production and Storage Capacity
The country's oil industry has initiated measures to ensure sustainable energy supply in winter by relying on increased production of petroleum products and also the storage of fuel for power plants. The gas production capacity in the country, especially in gas fields such as South Pars and other fields, is continuously increasing. According to statistics, gas production in South Pars has reached about 700 million cubic meters per day, which directly impacts the fuel supply for power plants.

The Importance of Public Cooperation in Optimal Energy Consumption
Sustainable energy supply in winter depends on public cooperation in optimal energy consumption. The Ministry of Oil is trying to enhance public awareness regarding optimal energy consumption through educational and informational programs. Additionally, considering the existing capacities, the Ministry of Oil has undertaken fuel storage in the Rey oil storage tanks to ensure proper fuel supply during emergencies and peak consumption times.
The restoration of the Rey oil storage facilities, which were damaged during the imposed war, is of special importance. These facilities, with significant storage capacity, play a vital role in supplying fuel to power plants. Furthermore, following the restoration and modernization of these facilities, the Ministry of Oil can respond more effectively to the country's energy needs.
Ultimately, given the current conditions and the need for sustainable energy supply in winter, the actions of the Ministry of Oil and public cooperation in optimal energy consumption can contribute to creating a winter season without interruptions and issues in fuel supply.
