Iran Faces Daily Gas Shortfall of Up to 250 Million Cubic Metres Ahead of Winter

Iran is facing a daily natural gas deficit of up to 250 million cubic metres as winter approaches, increasing pressure to curb consumption amid the impact of war on energy facilities.

The speaker of parliament has called for gas use to be reduced by at least 10% as the country confronts the shortfall.

The speaker also announced financial incentives for households that conserve gas, placing domestic energy savings at the centre of the response.

The appeal comes as the effects of war on energy infrastructure add to the challenges facing the gas sector. The summary provided did not specify which facilities had been affected or the extent of the damage.

With colder weather approaching, the call for lower consumption and household incentives is aimed at easing pressure on available supplies.
