Gas Consumption Increases

Daily gas consumption between Sept. 23 and Oct. 7 (the first two weeks of fall) increased by 30 million cubic meters compared with the same period of last year, the National Iranian Gas Company’s director for dispatching said.
“Given the decline in temperature that happened earlier this year compared with a year ago, more gas was consumed during the two weeks, although no restrictions have been imposed on any sectors yet,” Mohammad Reza Joulaei was also reported as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana.
Referring to gas consumption in different sectors, the official said power stations across the country now use 240 million cubic meters of natural gas per day, major industries consume 140 mcm per day and residential consumption stands at 220 mcm/d.
