The text of Javad Owji's communiqué addressed
to the CEOs of major companies, deputy ministers, ministerial advisers, CEOs of
oil industry subsidiaries, managers of independent headquarters units and heads
of subsidiaries reads as follows:
"Greetings,
One of the challenges, especially in the cold
season, is the concern of gas shortage due to its unconventional consumption in
the domestic sector. Considering that all the efforts of the Ministry of Petroleum
in winter are to provide gas and fuel needed by the general public, especially
in the domestic sector, it is necessary from now on to prepare and make the
necessary arrangements for efficient use of energy in all offices, companies
and residential developments. Subsidiaries and other areas and facilities,
including required repairs, overhauls and upgrade of motorhomes, reducing
electricity consumption as much as possible, observing the comfort temperature
of 18-22 degrees in roofed areas, turning off power generators during holidays,
etc. to help the process of energy supply and prevention of possible shortages
are among the measures that must be taken for the energy conservation purposes.
It is also necessary to develop and implement
the necessary training for all employees to use energy efficiently. Obviously,
the responsibility for following up and monitoring this issue in companies lies
with the human resource development management."
