The Russian giant Gazprom announced on Friday that it has set a new record for gas supplies to consumers in Russia for the fourth consecutive day this month to combat the frost.
The company stated in a release that as the weather grew colder, “Russian consumers were supplied with record volumes through the unified gas supply system,” noting that supplies reached 1.835 billion cubic meters of gas on February 4.
The company emphasized its “confidence in the capabilities of the gas supply transportation system, especially with the operation of underground gas storage facilities.”
Frost Wave Increases Consumption
The giant had previously announced a record for gas supplies during last January, reaching 51.275 billion cubic meters of gas.
In the same context, it was reported that the company “provides services to over 33 million subscribers, in addition to more than 380,000 institutions and social infrastructure sites.”
It was added that the company’s emergency teams are working daily, in cooperation with local authorities, to deal with the frost wave that hit the center of the country and the North Caucasus.
It was reported that the less cold winter last year led to a decrease in heating gas consumption, which contributed to an increase in gas reserve levels.
