TEHRAN, Jan. 14 (NIPNA) -- The spokesperson for the Parliament’s Energy Commission said on Wednesday that the Organization for Optimizing and Managing Energy Strategy’s programs should pursue energy efficiency while ensuring fairness in subsidy distribution and upgrades to efficiency and equipment.

The remarks came after the commission’s Tuesday briefing with Ismail Saghab Esfahani, deputy president and head of the organization, to hear its program plans.

Seyed Esmaeil Hosseini, the commission’s spokesman, said the organization’s approach centers on promoting energy conservation in households and across industry — including major, small, and agricultural sectors — with implementation starting in large-scale industries.

The commission emphasised that the organization’s work should be grounded in the Seventh Development Plan, and must avoid imposing additional costs on the public.

The plans should advance the seventh development plan goals while simultaneously delivering energy optimization, subsidy equity, and upgrades to equipment and productivity. Nipna reported on the briefing.
