Gasification comes closer in Arkhangelsk
The construction of a sixth gas distribution complex outside the city of Arkhangelsk allows for the full conversion of the local thermal power plant from black oil to gas.
The complex includes two stations, one for Arkhangelsk and one for Severodvinsk, a press release from the regional administration reads.
The new gas infrastructure will enable the thermal power plants in Arkhangelsk city and Severodvinsk to turn from use of oil to gas by the next heating season, the regional administration informs.
Arkhangelsk Oblast has until recently been one of Russian regions with the lowest level of gasification. Gazprom’s construction of the Nyuksenitsa-Arkhangelsk pipeline has changed that situation, and the region’s economy will now gradually turn towards the use of gas.
