Public utilities in Fars Province are predominantly managed by regional branches of Iran's national government ministries.
* **Electricity:** Supplied and managed by the Fars Regional Electric Company (FREC) under the national power grid (Tavanir). The province generates power through thermal, combined cycle, and some solar plants. * **Water:** Managed by the Fars Water and Wastewater Company. Water supply relies heavily on groundwater and dams (like the Doroodzan Dam). Due to severe regional droughts, water conservation is a critical issue. * **Gas:** Administered by the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) Fars branch. The vast majority of urban and rural households are connected to the piped natural gas network for heating and cooking. * **Waste Management:** Overseen by municipal governments. The Shiraz Municipality Waste Management Organization handles collection, with ongoing initiatives to improve recycling rates and manage landfill environmental impacts.
