Abstract: Abstract— The article provides an assessment of the level of gasification in the country at the moment; according to various methods, it is 66–70%. The need for gasification was also assessed. The current potential was 76%, and the forecast for the period up to 2030 for different scenarios of housing construction is 66–71%. At the same time, there will be an increase in the consumption of natural gas by the population due to gasification by 17–23 billion cubic meters. The costs required to complete the gasification were estimated at the order of one trillion rubles. This is much higher than Gazprom’s current investment costs. Proposals have been made to increase funding for gasification and speed up this process. It is also concluded that gasification of the eastern regions, especially in places with difficult terrain and climate, should be carried out in a different way than in the western regions of the country, where the gas transportation infrastructure is already developed.
