BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 5. Uzbekistan’s
Hududgaztaminot and Japan’s ITO Corporation are advancing a $3
million project to modernize Uzbekistan’s gas distribution
infrastructure, with Japan planning to provide 90 modern gas
distribution stations to the country on a grant basis this year,
was noted during the meeting held today in Tashkent.
This was reflected in the statement by the Hududgaztaminot.
Specialists are currently assessing locations where the new gas
distribution stations will be installed. The assessment covers the
technical condition of existing gas networks, installation
requirements and measures needed to ensure the safe commissioning
and operation of the equipment.
Uzbek and Japanese specialists are also discussing technical
requirements and recommendations for installing the new
equipment.
“The introduction of modern gas distribution stations will help
improve gas pressure regulation, increase the reliability of the
supply system and expand opportunities for stable and safe natural
gas supplies to consumers,” Hududgaztaminot said.
The 90 gas distribution stations, with a combined value of $3
million, are expected to improve the reliability of gas supplies in
the regions and support more efficient use of energy resources.
Additionally, the project reflects broader cooperation between
Uzbekistan and Japan in introducing advanced technologies and
international expertise into Uzbekistan’s energy
infrastructure.
Modernizing gas distribution infrastructure is particularly
important for improving the efficiency and reliability of energy
supply, as upgraded distribution facilities can help regulate
pressure, reduce operational risks and strengthen the stability of
networks serving residential and industrial consumers.
