80% of Iran's Industries Have Access to Piped Gas

All industrial units are expected to be connected to the national gas grid by the end of 2021, head of the National Iranian Gas Company said Saturday.
"There are close to 102,000 industrial units in the country, of which 80% have access to piped gas and the remaining units will be linked to the network by 2021," Hassan Montazer-Torbati was quoted as saying by ILNA.
Regarding the “positive effect” of a directive issued by the Economic Council of the government in 2018 to give $20,000 in loans to industry owners to connect their units to the grid, the official said the plan helped expedite gas supplies to industries.
