MOSCOW, January 27 Gas supplies to Russian consumers last year amounted to 501 billion cubic meters, follows from the presentation of First Deputy Minister of Energy Pavel Sorokin, presented at the exhibition — Forum «Russia».
At the beginning of last year, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak reported that in 2022, 484 billion cubic meters of gas were supplied to the domestic market. Thus, in 2023, deliveries increased by 3.5% compared to the previous year. According to the slides, in 2020 gas consumption in Russia was 461 billion cubic meters, and in 2010 — 458 billion.
Consumption of natural gas motor fuel in 2023 was at 2.2 billion cubic meters compared to 1.1 billion in 2020 and 0.3 billion in 2010.
Investments in gasification in 2023 amounted to 87 billion rubles (in 2020 — 39 billion rubles, in 2010 — 26 billion), the presentation says.
Gazprom will allocate 270.3 billion rubles in 2024 for both gasification and post-gasification in Russia, the head of the company Alexey Miller announced at the end of last year. According to him, this is a record amount — 33.5 billion more than in 2023.
The Government of the Russian Federation in 2021, on behalf of the President, began to introduce a socially oriented gasification system, which involves a gradual increase in the level of gasification in the country from 71% of households in 2020 year to 82.9% in 2030, as well as the implementation of accelerated additional gasification of households in already gasified areas without attracting funds from citizens.
A single gasification operator, assigned to the Gazprom Gasification company in 72 regions of the Russian Federation and in the federal territory of Sirius, as well as regional operators, is responsible for bringing the gas pipeline to the boundaries of land plots. In November 2022, the “social gasification” program became unlimited.
