Let me give you some figures: to date, 1 million 87 thousand applications for gasification have been accepted, 1 million 37 thousand contracts have been signed, which is about 95% of the number of accepted applications. This is a very good indicator. We are also observing an increase in the number of contracts signed to the limit of the land plot - about 760 thousand contracts or 73% of the total number of contracts signed. We expect that by the end of the year the number will reach 1 million," - said Alexander Novak.
