After gasmain launch Astana will have highest gas tariff in Kazakhstan

Astana. June 20. KazTAG - After gasmain launch Astana will have tthe highest gas tariff in Kazakhstan, said Kanat Bozumbayev, Minister of Energy of Kazakhstan.
"We have approximate estimations as we have the cost of the gasmain. We do not have the final cost of the gasmain yet. As I said 267 bn tenge on feasibility study plus the distributing system with its tariffs. Now we think the tariff will make 44-50 tenge. It is the highest tariff in the state. But it will not cover the investments in the gasmain," he said.

He said the gasmain Saryarka will be launched in early July.
