Hamid PourMohammadi, on Saturday evening (October 24), in a television interview regarding the approaching cold season and the gas imbalance challenge, emphasized the importance of managing gas consumption. PourMohammadi, while pointing to the cold year ahead and the gas imbalance situation, reminded that during the recent war, part of the gas production facilities was damaged.
Damage to Gas Production Facilities
PourMohammadi stated that if we do not pay attention to gas consumption from now on, some provinces may face problems in gas supply, saying: "This year we will have a cold year, and the gas imbalance is one of our main challenges. By reducing gas consumption by 10 percent, we can get through this year's cold."

Call for Gas Consumption Conservation
The head of the Planning and Budget Organization emphasized the need to conserve gas consumption and urged people to adhere to the consumption pattern. He warned that if some households do not comply with the consumption pattern, they will inevitably face penalties. He stated: "Managing gas consumption is very important because if the gas pressure decreases, it may lead to gas being cut off in a city, and this issue is not just about the gas cut off of one or two residential units."
PourMohammadi also referred to the potential dangers of gas pressure drop, saying: "This risk can lead to gas being cut off in some areas. Therefore, I request people to help ensure sustainable gas supply in winter by managing their consumption."
According to PourMohammadi, given the current conditions and damage to facilities, it is essential for everyone to be cautious in gas consumption. He added: "Considering the specific conditions of gas production facilities, any negligence in consumption can have serious consequences. We need to prevent problems this season through conservation and cooperation."
