Speaking to industry media on Wednesday, Sepahvand noted that
coordinated inter-agency management prevented widespread supply interruptions
in domestic power generation and residential gas grids despite wartime
conditions and infrastructure damage.
Maritime Operations and Export Recovery
Sepahvand highlighted rapid operational adjustments in the export
sector following the naval blockades and maritime pressures imposed by the
United States:
- Export
Surge: Within less than a month of sea-lane clearances, export volumes
rebounded rapidly from Kharg Island and other primary maritime terminals.
- Upstream
Resilience: Despite targeted impacts on select South
Pars gas field phases, offshore operators sustained stable production
levels to supply thermal power plants and residential networks.
Inter-Ministerial Fuel Allocation & Plant Repairs
Close oversight by the Energy Committee fostered strategic
coordination between the Ministry of Petroleum and the Ministry of Energy to
offset electricity grid deficits:
"The National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company
(NIORDC) increased fuel deliveries to power stations, establishing reserve
buffers for the upcoming cold season. The heart of the country's energy sector
lies with the Ministry of Petroleum; without timely gas feedstocks, power
generation falters. To date, no critical fuel deficits have occurred at
domestic power plants." — Reza Sepahvand, Energy Committee Spokesperson
Sepahvand concluded that specialized engineering contractors have
already initiated repairs across affected energy sites. Furthermore, most
petrochemical complexes nationwide maintain active operations without critical
production bottlenecks, securing domestic industrial supply lines.
