YEREVAN, April 1, /ARKA/. Armenia's Russian-owned national gas
distribution company Gazprom Armenia expects 9,000 new households
and enterprises to get connected to its network this year.
Today the Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) has approved
the company's investment program for this year in the amount of 11
billion drams.
A senior official of the company, Ashot Hakobyan, said today at a
meeting of the Public Services Regulatory Commission that out of
6.67 billion drams envisioned for upgrading the gas distribution
system, 391.4 million are earmarked for connecting new households
and enterprises to the network.
"The money will be spent on connecting new potential subscribers,
installation of necessary equipment, including gas meters and gas
leak detectors,' said Hakobyan.
He said all this will greatly enhance the security of the system and
upgrade the accounting system. According to official data, the company
had 649,000 private and corporate subscribers at the end of 2013.
Their number was expected to grow further to 658,000 by the end
of 2014.

natural gas supplies in 2014-2018. According to it, Gazprom will
deliver up to 2.5 billion cubic meters of gas every year. The gas
price will be determined by a formula linked to the Russian gas
pricing scheme. -0- ($1 - 471.13 drams -0-
