en.Wedoany.com Reported - Russia's Gazprom is advancing natural gas power infrastructure in the Far East, with projects covering gas pipeline construction, thermal power plant expansion, and regional gasification plans.

The company is building the Belogorsk – Khabarovsk gas pipeline, which will connect the Power of Siberia pipeline and the Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok pipeline. In the Amur Region, expansion of the Svobodnaya TPP has begun, with a new 450 MW power unit under construction. The first phase of the South Yakutsk TPP has entered the commissioning stage.

In the Khabarovsk Krai and Kamchatka Krai, the company is implementing the 2026–2030 gasification plan, including connecting residential areas and boiler houses, as well as preparing for the construction of inter-village gas pipelines. Liquefied natural gas receiving infrastructure on Shikotan Island has been put into operation, and the Malokurilskaya Gas-Diesel Power Plant has been completed, making it the first power facility on the Kuril Islands to use natural gas.

The additional power generation capacity will provide extra electricity to the United Energy System of the East, supply power to the Eastern Test Range—a strategic site for Russian Railways—and improve power supply reliability in remote areas.
