NIGC raises gas supply to power plants by 2 bcm

Iran has increased natural gas deliveries to its power plants by around two billion cubic meters (bcm) since the start of the current calendar year (late March 2025), bringing total supplies to 47.4 bcm by Sept. 11, according to the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC).

The figure compares with 45.4 bcm in the same period last year, NIGC data showed, Shana reported.
Officials said the higher deliveries came as electricity demand surged during the summer peak, with securing stable power supplies remaining a top priority for the country.

Power plants are the largest gas consumers in the warmer months, while households and businesses dominate demand in winter. The increase this year indicates the gas sector was able to meet rising seasonal needs on time, the report said.
NIGC Head Saeed Tavakoli said last month that plants were receiving gas at full capacity and that no gas-fired facilities had faced shortages during the spring and summer.
