Gas Supply Gains Momentum in Urban, Rural Sistan-Baluchestan

The gas companies of Khorasan Razavi and Yazd provinces have been selected by the National Iranian Gas Company to implement gas supply projects to 24 cities and more than 1,700 villages in Sistan-Baluchestan Province.
As the second largest province in Iran, Sistan-Baluchestan occupies 11.4% of the total area of the country and has a population of 2.77 million people. However, because many parts of the province are not yet connected to the gas grid, people there have been provided with liquefied gas, which has caused a lot of problems and expenses for the people as well as production units, power plants and industrial units, the Oil Ministry’s news service Shana reported.
