Above 1,700 km of gas pipelines were built last year to provide more than 300,000 Kazakhstanis with access to piped gas, Kazinform News Agency cites the Energy Ministry’s press service.

Gasification of rural settlements will improve people’s living conditions, reduce air pollution, save alternate fuel costs, and raise the investment attractiveness of the regions.

65.9 billion tenge was allocated to develop 45 gasification projects in seven rural settlements this year. The projects will raise gasification rates to 62% and provide over 12.4 million people with access to piped gas.

One of the largest projects is the construction of an automated gas-regulating station Finskaya 120 in Atyrau region to increase gas pipeline carrying capacity and provide the European part of the city with the necessary gas volume to give an impulse to the industrial development of the region.

As earlier reported, in line with the President’s instruction, the Government of Kazakhstan took a decision to allocate an additional 105 billion tenge from the reserves of JSC Samruk-Kazyna for the local executive agencies. These funds will be spent on implementation of 145 gasification projects," a press release from the Energy Ministry reads.
