"Even though Gazprom is mighty, it will take it five years to gasify Crimea"
Crimea is Russian power plus gasification. Yuri Shafranik "Vestnik Kavkaza"After Crimea joined Russia, Moscow authorities encountered the problem of its gasification. The Ministry of Fuel and Energy of Crimea has asked its residents to consume less energy. The Deputy Minister of Energy, Sergei Bordryk, believes that this request was caused by the cutting of electricity supplies to Crimea by Ukraine. On September 1, in connection with the nationalization of the gas transportation system of Crimea, all gas distribution networks became the property of Krymgazset. Gas tariffs remain the same. The company's account is registered with the Russian National Commercial Bank. The retail price of one cylinder of liquefied petroleum gas costs 650.14 rubles. Crimea and Sevastopol will receive gas and electricity from Russia. According to the deputy director of the Department of State Regulation of Tariffs, Infrastructure and Energy Efficiency (Ministry of Economic Development of Russia), Dmitry Vakhrukov, "decisions on power supply have already been adopted. The investment program of the Federal Grid Company has sufficient funds to build an alternative network. The facilities available on the territory of Russia should be enough to provide Crimea and Sevastopol with energy." Vakhrukov noted that "in the current geopolitical situation there are no other solutions except for connecting the gas pipeline from the Krasnodar region." The chairman of the Board of the Union of Oil and Gas Producers of Russia, Yuri Shafranik, believes that Crimea needs urgent gasification: "We have to begin dealing with electricity supply urgently, introduce gas generators. We can use offshore gas, but it is clear that we have to supply gas from our network here. We have to install power lines and gas lines without trepidation. Even if it is considered very cost-effective, I am convinced that it is necessary to do so immediately, without delay."Shafranik proposed engaginv a wide range of Russian companies for the gasification of Crimea: "We have enough companies and businesses apart from Gazprom. Even though Gazprom is mighty, it will take it five years to gasify Crimea, while we have to finish it in a year. Can we do it? Yes, we can. We work better when we need to.""We have addressed the government and companies: let's join our efforts regarding Crimea this year. The government has already taken its decision, a great number of budget places have been allocated, and businesses started to recruit people and sign contracts with some guys, that is, they don't just take them with budget money, they hire them based on a scholarship. The first party of students has already been sent to the Tyumen Oil and Gas Industry. I believe we will have to do it for three or even five years. We simply need to help young people, send them to different institutions. We shouldn't just tell them: "There are some budget places there, just go." The majority of people have neither the means nor the opportunity to send a young man far away," Shafranik said."Vestnik Kavkaza"
