Power of Siberia to be put into operation on December 2?

Gazprom and China have set the date for the official launch of the Power of Siberia gas pipeline for December 2, a source familiar with the company's plans said.

Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said earlier that the construction is ahead of schedule and gas deliveries to China via the northern section of the pipeline (the Heihe-Changling section) will start earlier than planned — on December 1, 2019.

Initially, the launch of the pipeline was set for December 20, TASS recalls.
