Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov. 24
By Nigar Guliyeva – Trend:
In Uzbekistan, residents of remote districts and towns, where there is no centralized gas supply, will receive gas cylinders, the Uzbek media reported.
Uztransgaz JSC, a structural subdivision of Uzbekneftegaz NHC, controlling gas transportation and supply in Uzbekistan, promised to fully provide the country’s population with domestic gas cylinders before December 1.
To date, consumers in Uzbekistan have already received over 670,000 of the planned 750,000 gas cylinders.
“We are actively working to develop the infrastructure for providing the population with liquefied gas,” Akmal Eshonkulov, department head at Uztransgaz JSC, said. “Forty service centers for storing and selling domestic gas cylinders have been built, 40 special vehicles for their transportation have been bought, and five gas filling stations have been commissioned.”
Eshonkulov added that cylinders with liquefied gas have already been delivered to 2.7 million consumers.
By the end of the year, consumers will additionally receive more than 376,000 tons of liquefied gas, which is 125,000 tons more than last year, he said.
