19.02.2019

On February 8, a working meeting was held in St. Petersburg between Governor Sergey Zhvachkin and Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Board of Gazprom. Tomsk Region Governor and the head of the largest energy company discussed the course and prospects of cooperation.

In particular, the meeting dealt with the gasification of the region. In 2019, Gazprom allocated 1.08 billion rubles for these purposes (in 2018, investments amounted to 0.9 billion rubles). The company is building a gas pipeline branch and a gas distribution station in the city of Asino, a gas pipeline branch and gas distribution station in the village of Pobeda in the Shegarsky district, as well as six inter-settlement gas pipelines to a number of rural settlements in the region.

Gazprom is a strategic partner of the Tomsk Region, said Governor Sergey Zhvachkin. - Behind this partnership are real, visible changes that improve the life of the region and its inhabitants. These are thousands of gasified houses, thousands of highly paid jobs, these are contracts with our universities for training and innovative developments and, of course, lucrative orders for our factories that have proven: Tomsk products successfully compete with imported ones and meet the highest standards of Gazprom.

Alexey Miller and Sergey Zhvachkin also discussed the continuation of Gazprom’s participation in socially significant projects in the Tomsk region.
“We agreed on the continuation of a number of social projects, the main of which is “Tomsk Embankments", which transforms the city center, at the same time carefully preserving the unique face of Tomsk,” said Sergey Zhvachkin.
