Krasnodar territory 80% gasified - Gazprom
SOCHI. Dec 14 (Interfax) - The gasification level in the Krasnodar territory is 80%, the Deputy CEO of Gazprom Valery Golubev said at a Friday meeting of the public council on city resort preparations for the Olympics in Sochi.
"The Krasnodar territory is 80% gasified, whereas for Russia as a whole it's 63%," he said.
Over the past five years, Gazprom has invested 10 billion rubles in the Krasnodar territory, and the local authorities (the administrations of the Krasnodar territory and Sochi) have invested the same amount. This year, Gazprom invested 2.5 billion rubles in Sochi, Golubev said.
Gazprom's largest project on the Black Sea coast is the Dzhubga-Lazarveskoye-Sochi gas pipeline.
There are plans to construct the Dzhubga and Kudepstinskaya combined heat and power plants (CHPP). The Adlerskaya CHPP is currently running in start-up mode.
Golubev recalled that Gazprom is participating in the "Olympics project." In Krasnaya Polyana, Sochi, it has helped build a skiing and biathlon complex, a mountain and tourism center, and an Olympic village and sports technology facilities.
As reported, the Adlerskaya CHPP is part of a program to construct Olympic facilities and develop the city of Sochi as a mountain resort. This CHPP will serve as the key energy facility for Sochi and the surrounding areas by covering over a third of the forecast peak burden of the Sochi energy district in 2014.
The construction of this CHPP, which covers around 10 hectares, started in September 2009. Its two power units will have a combined electricity capacity of 360 MW and a heat capacity of 227 Gcal/h. Natural gas is the primary fuel for the Adlerskaya CHPP.
Gazprom finished building the Dzhubga-Lazarevskoye-Sochi in 2011.
