“United Russia” makes everything from its own flavor for the gasification of Bratsk.
The gasification project for Bratsk, one of the major cities of the Angara region, provides for the comprehensive support of United Russia, noted by the Secretary of the General Council of United Russia Andrey Turchak during a visit to Irkutsk. According to him, the day before he met with the head of Gazprom Alexey Miller and this issue is discussed separately.
“There are several technical solutions. It is clear that all this should be left to specialists, but I just know how Sergey Vadimovich (GustovGeneral Director of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz – approx.) relates to this topic, so I have no doubt that this task will be completed, ”he said at a meeting on the gasification of Bratsk.
Bratsk is located on both sides of the Angara, and the necessary infrastructure is only in one part of the city. So far, it has not been possible to gasify the left-bank part, its capture by a coal-fired thermal power plant. Meanwhile, the gasification of the left bank in Bratsk and the conversion of thermal power plants to more environmentally friendly gas is one of the activities of the federal program “Net Income”, which is to reduce the level of harmful effects in Bratsk and 11 other industrial centers of Russia.
The main air pollutants in Bratsk are an aluminum plant, a timber industry complex, a ferroalloy plant, a thermal power plant, and transport. By 2024, Bratsk should reduce emissions by almost 20%. The gasification program will give about 7% to this piggy bank. In 2021, the authorities of the Irkutsk region requested 5 billion rubles from the federal budget for measures to ensure air quality, of which 3 billion are needed to gasify the city.
Andrei Turchak recalled that the topic of laying a gas pipe on the left bank of the city was raised in the election campaign of United Russia in the Irkutsk region.
“We will do everything together to make this happen. Everything that is needed from United Russia, the Federation Council in this part is ready for interaction and solving this problem,” he said.
At the end of the year, a schedule was chosen for the additional gasification of Bratsk until 2025. He was appointed head of Gazprom Mezhregiongaz by Sergey Gustov and Irkutsk Region Governor Igor Kobzev. The plan involves the gasification of private households in Bratsk as part of the social additional gasification program.
As a reminder, on June 11, 2021, the President of Russia Vladimir Putin a law amended by United Russia on free delivery of gas to sites. You can apply for gasification on the State Services portal and through the MFC branches, Gazprom Mezhregiongaz subscriber points and the websites of the gasification operator. The party also proposes the expansion of social gasification benefits – extending them to the entire country and standardizing the cost of a significant set of equipment for categories of citizens. Such proposals are already expected in 63 regions.
The President also came up with the initiative of Andrey Turchak to involve the headquarters for gasification headed by the highest officials of the regions.
