The FINANCIAL -- Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee held a meeting in Krasnaya Polyana concerning the progress with Gazprom's Olympic facilities construction and commissioning.

Specifically, the discussion centered construction of an integrated complex for cross-country skiing and biathlon competitions, and a Mountain Olympic Village. The integrated Biathlon and Ski Complex is unprecedented in the modern Russian history. As Gazprom reported, the Complex is situated in the medium-height mountains. It is in the medium-height mountains where world cross-country skiing and biathlon competitions take place on a regular basis, that's why the complex stands a good chance to become the main training center for Russian skiers and biathletes.
This February and March the Russian Biathlon Cup, the Russian Cross-Country Skiing Cup and the Russian Cross-Country Skiing and Biathlon Championship among sportsmen with spinal cord injury and vision disorders were successfully held here. Moreover, in September the first summer training camp of the Russian Women's Biathlon team took place here.At present, construction of the facilities of the Integrated Biathlon and Ski Complex and of the Mountain Olympic Village continues, and specifically consists in driveways building. A semi-closed shooting range is ready to be commissioned.
In the meantime, Gazprom continues developing the Mounting Tourist Center. Hotel resorts with a total of thousand people housing capacity, fifteen kilometers of pistes with various difficulty levels and six aerial cableways with the total length of 7,645 meters function within the Center. The construction of one of the most important transport facilities is underway, that is, of the five kilometer long cableway to connect the Biathlon and Ski Complex to the Alpika-Service transport hub, where a high-speed train from the Sochi Airport will arrive. Construction of transport and engineering infrastructure facilities goes on. The second line of a long-distance cableway Psekhako II is about to be put into operation.
Alexey Miller held a meeting in Krasnaya Polyana concerning the progress with construction and commissioning of Gazprom’s Olympic facilities.
To eliminate energy deficiency in the Krasnodar Territory and to supply the Olympic facilities with energy Gazprom is building the Adler combined heat and power station (CHPS). It will be the main supplier of power to Sochi and adjacent areas. This is a high-technology facility with power units efficiency of 52 per cent, power capacity of 360 MW and heat capacity of 227.8 Gcal per hour. Today, electrical equipment tests and start-up operations are being conducted at the station. The Adler CHPS is to be put onstream in the fourth quarter of 2012.
The Krasnodar Territory gasification issues were also discussed at the meeting, including gas supply to the Olympic facilities. In the framework of its Gasification Program for 2005–2011, Gazprom has allocated about RUB 9.4 billion to build eighteen inter-settlement gas pipelines with the total length of 270 kilometers.
