This year, it is planned to increase the share of gasification to 60%. The Minister of Energy Bolat Aksholakov said this at the extended board meeting of the department, the national portal "Adyrna" reported.
Minister of Energy Bolat Aksholakov said that the main scheme of gasification for 2022-2030, which determines the further development of the gas transportation system, has been updated.
According to the minister, plans for gasification of the northern and eastern regions of Kazakhstan are being worked out.
Negotiations are underway on the construction of the 2nd and 3rd stages of the main gas pipeline "Saryarka" and the construction of the main gas pipeline "Barnaul-Rubtsovsk-Semey-Uskemen" branching to the city of Pavlodar with Russia. Also, the possibility of building the Omby-Pavlodar-Semei gas pipeline branching to Ust-Kamenogorsk is under consideration. At the same time, the issue of the resource base of gas and the cost of imported gas is a limiting factor," said the minister.
