Residents of Iran’s Tehran Province have been urged to use natural gas more efficiently ahead of the winter cold to help ensure a stable supply during the period of peak demand.

The appeal was made by Alireza Avani, head of the Tehran Province Gas Company, according to Iran International.

He said comprehensive maintenance work and upgrades to the gas distribution infrastructure had been completed, adding that the gas transportation network was prepared to operate reliably under peak-demand conditions.

Avani stressed that reducing gas consumption in residential buildings and public facilities would be particularly important during the colder months.

To raise public awareness, the company has also launched an information campaign, distributing educational materials and recommendations on how households and public institutions can save energy.

The appeal comes as Iran prepares for increased natural gas consumption during the winter season, when heating demand typically puts additional pressure on the country's gas supply network.
