Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend corr S. Aliyev / Some 5bln cu m of gas will be supplied to Azerbaijan's electricity stations within this year, the head of Azerigaz CJSC, Alikhan Malikov, reported on 27 September.
A scheme of mutual accounts on gas operations among state bodies was changed in April. Now SOCAR transfers its gas to Azerenerji. Earlier, the operations were implemented through Azerigaz.
SOCAR was selling 1,000 cu m of gas per AZN 42 to Azerigaz, and Azerigaz was onwards selling the fuel necessary for the production of electricity to Azerenerji.
Azerenerji paid little for the gas supplied by Azerigaz. Thus, Azerigaz had debts to SOCAR. At present Azerigaz only transports gas to electricity stations.
