The Minister of Oil announced an increase in oil production capacity to about 250,000 barrels per day.
Contrary to the unprofessional comments of some critics of the 14th government who are trying to blame the Ministry of Oil for the blackouts, a review of the ministry's performance in the last four months shows that during this same period, many records have been broken in the field of oil and gas production and delivery to the country's power plants.
The CEO of Neka Power Generation Management Company said: "The net energy production of the Shahid Salimi Neka Power Plant increased by about 10 percent in the past 9 months compared to the same period last year, despite restrictions on the allocation of gas and diesel fuel."
The Deputy Director of Dispatching Operations at the National Iranian Gas Company announced: Gas delivered to power plants in December of this year was cumulatively 180 million cubic meters more than the same period last year (1402).
A spokesperson for the National Iranian Gas Company announced yesterday that the amount of gas consumed in the domestic, commercial, and small industrial sectors was 610 million cubic meters out of a total of 859 million cubic meters of total gas consumed in the country.
The director of the National Petroleum Products Distribution Company in Ilam announced the charging of a new kerosene quota for the household sector in the winter season for all urban, rural, and nomadic households in the province that do not have a natural gas connection.
The Deputy Speaker of the Parliament said that action should be taken against those who cut off electricity without planning or informing the people.
The CEO of Pasargad Bank said: "To partially compensate for the energy imbalance, we are trying to introduce 15,000 megawatts of solar power into the country's electricity grid in the next 14 months."
A spokesman for the judiciary announced: "A special criminal case has been opened against three defendants, including the former ministers of oil, interior, and the head of the Environmental Protection Agency, and in accordance with the law, five of the managers at the time have been sentenced."
In the summer, given the widespread use of electric cooling devices and considering Iran's climate, it is acceptable that Iran's mostly worn-out power plants will have trouble supplying electricity. But what about the power outages in the winter?
