Miller held working meetings with the heads of the three regions of the Northwestern Federal District

Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee and Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors, held working meetings with Alexander Dronov, Acting Governor of the Novgorod Region, Rostislav Goldstein, Acting Head of the Komi Republic, and Alexander Drozdenko, Governor of the Leningrad Region, on Thursday, September 11. He emphasized the development of cooperation between the company and the regions within the framework of the gas supply and gasification program on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

During the meeting with Dronov, Miller called the Novgorod Region a good partner of the company and noted that gas has now been delivered to 16 districts of the region. According to him, about 70 thousand subscribers use digital and personal accounts.

"Gazprom Group, which is very important for the Novgorod Region and Veliky Novgorod, has started implementing a service model. This is the creation of common service centers where all the company's service functions will be concentrated. And in August, as you know, we launched a single customer service center from Gazprom," he added.

Miller stressed that the opening of the center demonstrates the company's centralized and standardized business processes, which allow it to take into account supplies and accept applications from Russians. He also noted that Veliky Novgorod has taken a significant place on the gas map of the country.

During the meeting with Goldstein, Gazprom's Chairman of the Management Board pointed to the company's provision of the Komi oil and electric power industry. Miller noted that over the course of five years, from 2021 to 2025, a lot has been done in the Komi Republic as part of the gas supply and gasification program. He stressed that the level of gasification in the region has increased by almost 20%, which is a good result. At the moment, constructive work is also underway to prepare an appropriate program for the next five years — from 2026 to 2030.

New gas pipelines and gas distribution stations are currently being built in Komi, Miller said. In addition, it is expected that more than 3.3 thousand residential buildings will receive gas in the near future.

During the meeting with Drozdenko, Gazprom's Chairman of the Management Board noted that the company and the Leningrad Region have a special strategic relationship.

"The Leningrad Region has large-scale projects that are of great importance for the socio—economic development of both the Leningrad Region and our beloved Russia," Miller added, assessing the results of cooperation in the region.

Miller named the gas processing complex in Ust-Luga, which will become one of the largest in the world, as one of such projects. At the moment, it is 63% ready. Speaking about the gas supply and gasification program, he pointed to the successful achievement of goals and called Gazprom socially responsible in the Leningrad region.

Miller shared that the company is also implementing the Gazprom for Children program in the region and other areas in which it plans to continue working. At the moment, on Putin's instructions, the next five—year plan is also being prepared - from 2026 to 2030.

The Chairman of the Gazprom Management Board expressed confidence in the fulfillment of all subsequent goals and objectives. He called the very constructive and prompt work between the company, the regional government and the governor of the Leningrad region, Alexander Drozdenko, a pledge.
