The Power of Siberia will become a unified gas transmission system
(GTS) for the Irkutsk and Yakutia gas production centers and convey gas
from these centers to Vladivostok via Khabarovsk.
The Yakutia – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok gas trunk line will
be constructed at the first stage, and at the second stage the Irkutsk
center will be connected to the Yakutia center by the gas pipeline.
The GTS route will run in parallel with the Eastern Siberia – Pacific
Ocean operational oil pipeline, thus enabling to streamline the
infrastructure and power supply costs. The GTS route will pass, interalia, through swampy, mountainous and seismically hazardous areas.
The bulk of pipes used in the construction will be domestically
manufactured. Some 11,700 experts will be engaged within Phase 1 of the
Power of Siberia project and some 3,000 employees will ensure the
pipeline's operation.
The GTS received its name following the contest results.
