gas imbalance; The simultaneous challenge of energy production, consumption and resilience.
Mohammad Ali Hosseini, an economic expert in a conversation with Mizan: In addition to the damage caused to the energy infrastructure in the last war, the gas imbalance in Iran is affected by factors such as increased consumption, low productivity, lack of investment and limited access to advanced technologies.
Managing these conditions requires prioritizing gas allocation, optimizing consumption and developing energy cooperation with neighboring countries.
Vast gas resources alone are not sufficient for a sustainable energy supply, and the production conditions, the amount of consumption and the infrastructure needed to utilize these resources must also be taken into account.
Local gas consumption in the winter can reach about 700 million cubic meters per day. In such a situation, the household sector becomes the priority for gas supply and a significant part of the gas required for industries and power plants is affected.
Unrealistic pricing can send the wrong signals to producers and consumers; As a result, the incentive to invest and optimize consumption decreases, and resources are not optimally allocated.
Iran's energy policy focused mainly on increasing production capacity and economic productivity, but the experience of the war showed that increasing production capacity alone is not enough to ensure energy sustainability.
