A meeting of the Inter-Agency Council in charge of implementing the Agreement of Cooperation between St. Petersburg and Gazprom was held in St. Petersburg by Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Company’s Management Committee, and Alexander Beglov, Governor of St. Petersburg.
The parties reviewed the outcomes of their cooperation in the 2019–2021 period that was aimed at providing reliable gas supplies, implementing thermal power generation projects, and expanding the NGV market, as well as building state-of-the-art sports facilities and creating a comfortable urban environment.
Among other things, Gazprom put into operation the Lagolovo gas distribution station, thereby considerably enhancing the reliability of gas supplies to the Gatchinsky and Lomonosovsky Districts of the Leningrad Region, to the southern and central districts of St. Petersburg, and to the Yugo-Zapadnaya CHPP, which reinforced the operational stability of the city’s energy system. Efforts were made to upgrade the city’s heat supply networks. The number of Gazprom’s gas refuelling stations almost doubled (up to 15 units), and the sales of the eco-friendly vehicle fuel grew nearly twofold.
Alexey Miller and Alexander Beglov signed the Accord for cooperation in the new triennial period of 2022–2024.
Pursuant to the Accord, the core activities of Gazprom will include efforts for further improvement of the reliability of gas supplies to consumers in St. Petersburg, namely the continued renovation of the Serpukhov – Leningrad and Belousovo – Leningrad gas trunklines.
In order to expand the use of natural gas as a vehicle fuel, Gazprom plans to build 11 Company-owned CNG filling stations. In their turn, the city authorities will ensure the procurement of new gas-powered vehicles.
