Social gas program rollout in Yakutia proceeding smoothly as anticipated
Regional headquarters held a video conference to discuss the progress of the "United Russia" party's social gasification initiative in Yakutia. The focus of the meeting was on constructing gas networks to supply gas to local families.
Minister of Industry and Geology, Maxim Tereщенko, underscored the importance of activating municipalities' efforts to connect households to gas networks.
Alexei Kolodеznov, General Director of AO "Sakhatransneftegaz," highlighted that since the launch of the presidential gasification program in 2021, 8,846 Yakutian households have gained access to network gas.
According to Alexei Zasimovich, 255 households were connected in 2025, with the highest number, 139, in Yakutsk. The top five districts with the most connections included Viluysky, Verkhneviluysky, Megino-Kangalassky, and Churapchinsky.
Petr Danilov, Deputy Chief Engineer of AO "Sakhatransneftegaz," reported that 1,557 households are planned for gasification in 2025, with 1,570 contracts signed so far and conditions for connection established for 440 homeowners.
The company continues to work on gasifying cottage settlements. Since the launch of the socgaz program, the company has signed 11,298 contracts, ensuring technical capability for the connection of 10,602 households.
Yakutia ranks 8th in the country for high program implementation efficiency and 1st in the Far East. In terms of its energy resources, Yakutia is significant, boasting oil and gas reserves. However, specific details about the United Russia party's initiatives in Yakutia's gasification plans were not found in the available data.
Social gasification programs generally aim to improve access to natural gas for households and communities, often involving infrastructure development to connect homes to gas networks, helping reduce energy costs and improve living conditions. Gazprom, a major player in Russia's gas industry, has been involved in various gasification projects across the country, but details specific to Yakutia were not found in the search results.
In light of the influx of households gaining access to network gas, the Minister of Industry and Geology, Maxim Tereщенko, emphasized the significance of mobilizing municipalities' efforts towards connecting more households to gas networks. With the continuous work in Yakutia to gasify cottage settlements, AO "Sakhatransneftegaz" has already signed 11,298 contracts, ensuring the technical capability for the connection of 10,602 households in the finance sector.
