Executing Russian Regions Gasification Program Press Conference held All news items How is gas delivered to consumers Interaction with regions Increasing the gas penetration rate across Russian regions is one of Gazprom’s most extensive and socially significant activities in the domestic market. In 2018, Gazprom implements regional gas infrastructure expansion programs together with the authorities of 66 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The Company finances the construction of inter-settlement gas pipelines, thereby providing localities with gas, while regional authorities lay down gas distribution networks and prepare consumers to receive gas.

What is natural gas Gazprom’s funding for gas infrastructure expansion programs, RUB billion Enlarged photo (PNG, 11.2 KB) From 2005 to 2017, over 2,000 gas pipelines with a total length of more than 30,000 kilometers were built. As a result, the gas penetration rate in Russia reached 68.1 per cent (71.4 per cent in cities and towns and 58.7 per cent in rural areas) by December 31, 2017.

The Company makes extensive efforts to develop the existing gas production centers, establish new ones, and build gas transmission capacities. These strategic projects form the basis for the implementation of gas infrastructure expansion projects in Far Eastern regions. Thanks to Gazprom’s efforts, major power generating facilities were converted to gas in a number of large cities, including in Kamchatka, Sakhalin, and the Primorye Territory. Construction is currently underway on inter-settlement gas pipelines and gas distribution stations in the Kamchatka, Primorye and Khabarovsk Territories and the Sakhalin Region. In a medium-term perspective, natural gas will reach southern Yakutia, the Amur Region, and the central areas of Sakhalin Island.

Special attention is given to delivering gas to small localities and population centers remote from gas trunklines, which is particularly important in rural areas. In 2014, Gazprom implemented its first off-grid gas supply project: the Company built an LNG complex in the Perm Territory consisting of an LNG mini-plant in the Kanyusyata village (Karagaisky District) and three natural gas receiving, storage and regasification facilities. The complex has the annual capacity of 19 million cubic meters of gas.

Gas penetration rate in Armenia reaches 96 per cent Gazprom Armenia is a leader in Armenia’s energy industry. Natural gas is supplied to 600 Armenian population centers, with the gas penetration rate across the country reaching 96 per cent. It is planned to provide gas to 411 localities and 845,000 apartments as part of the Program for gas supply and gas infrastructure expansion in Kyrgyzstan until 2030, raising the gas penetration rate in the Kyrgyz Republic from 22 to 60 per cent. © 2003–2018 Gazprom Contact us Site map Accessibility Print...
