Conditions for connecting consumers to gas created by Gazprom in 309 localities since early 2022

The Gazprom Management Committee took note of the information about the progress of programs for gas supply and gas infrastructure expansion in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and their synchronization with regional programs for converting housing and utilities, industries and other entities to gas.

It was noted that programs for gas supply and gas infrastructure expansion are currently in force between Gazprom and 72 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The construction of the gas transmission and distribution infrastructure is proceeding in accordance with the corresponding schedules.

In the period from early 2022, Gazprom built gas pipeline branches with gas distribution stations (GDSs) in the Omsk, Sakhalin and Ivanovo Regions, as well as in the Republic of Mari El. The Company also completed the construction of 129 inter-settlement gas pipelines in Russian regions, which were among the facilities planned to be built in 2022. As a result, conditions for gas grid connection have been created for 51,400 households and apartments, as well as 212 boiler houses within 309 localities, largely rural ones.

At present, a number of the existing programs signed with the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are being updated taking into account the need of the latter in the construction of additional gas infrastructure expansion facilities.

The Management Committee meeting paid special attention to reviewing the work on gas supply and gas infrastructure expansion in the Krasnoyarsk and Kamchatka Territories.

As of today, Gazprom has introduced the required adjustments into the General Scheme for gas supply and gas infrastructure expansion of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The options of providing pipeline gas supplies to the region's central and southern areas have been analyzed. The Government of the Krasnoyarsk Territory carries out the work required to obtain a more precise forecast of gas demand among regional consumers.

In the Kamchatka Territory, Gazprom is at the final stage of the construction of a gas pipeline branch complete with a GDS, which stretches to the settlement of Razdolny in the Elizovsky District. The inter-settlement gas pipeline that goes from the GDS to said settlement is already laid. Design development works are underway for pipelines that will supply gas to six more settlements of the Elizovsky District: Dvurechye, Krasny, Nagorny, Novy, Pionersky, and Svetly.

An inter-settlement gas pipeline to serve the boiler houses of the Vilyuchinsky Municipality is being designed. The project is being implemented pursuant to the instruction of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The issues of the implementation of Gazprom's programs for gas supply and gas infrastructure expansion in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and their synchronization with regional programs, as well as the issues of gas supply and gas infrastructure expansion in the Krasnoyarsk and Kamchatka Territories will be submitted for consideration by the Gazprom Board of Directors.
