VLADIVOSTOK, September 4 – RIA Novosti. The Artem gas distribution station, which will supply gas to the Artemovskaya CHPP-2 under construction, was launched in Primorye during the Eastern Economic Forum, the regional government reports.
“The gas distribution station (GDS-2) “Artem” is included in the gas network of the Primorsky Territory. Governor Oleg Kozhemyako took part in the ceremonial launch of the facility on the sidelines of the EEF-2026,” the message says.
Chairman of the Board of Gazprom PJSC Alexey Miller, commenting on the launch of the station, noted that in the Far East over the past five years, 75 cities and villages have been gasified, 7 thousand families received gas, and it also goes to boiler houses of enterprises and social facilities, and to the Vostochny cosmodrome.

“One of the key projects in the region is the construction of the Artemovskaya CHPP with a capacity of 440 megawatts, which will create opportunities for the development of the Primorye economy, reduce the risks of technological disruptions during peak loads, and increase environmental safety. The construction of a gas distribution station is very important for us. I think the Primorsky Territory is a “piping point” for the development of the gas chemical industry, liquefaction of gas, sending it from our ports to neighbors in the Asia-Pacific region,” the message quotes as saying Kozhemyako.
