History
Gazprom transgaz Moscow was the first company in Russia to start long-distance gas transmission.
On July 11, 1946 gas from Saratov fields came to Moscow. On July 25, 1946 the Head of Glavgaztopprom under the Council of Ministers of the USSR ordered to reorganize the director’s office of the constructed Saratov - Moscow gas pipeline into the Gas Pipeline Operation Directorate. This date is considered to be a birthday of Gazprom transgaz Moscow.
In 1956, after the completion of the Stavropol – Moscow multi-line gas main system construction, the Unified Gas Supply System (UGSS) of Russia was launched.
In 1966 the Company was awarded with the Order of Lenin (the highest state award at that time) for outstanding performance.
Today Gazprom transgaz Moscow is a largest gas transmission unit of Gazprom and a major part of the Russia’s UGSS, providing for timely and regular natural gas supplies to the customers of 14 constituent entities of European Russia, including Moscow, as well as domestic market supplies, transit to the FSU and other countries. The total number of employees is 13.5 thousand.

Gazprom transgaz Moscow transmits gas via 724 gas distribution stations (1/3 of all the Gazprom’s gas distribution stations (GDS)) and dispatching control stations to 400 Russian cities and towns, thousands of villages and settlements. The Company operates over 21 thousand km of gas mains and pipe-bends, 275 gas compressor units (GCU) in 47 compressor rooms with a total rated capacity of GCU – 2760 MW, 34 CNG refuelling stations. The amount of gas transmitted by the Company totals almost 300 bcm per year.
