The FINANCIAL — With the help of Wissol Gas Distribution Company up to 5,000 families from the villages of Akura, Gulgula, Khodasheni, Vardisubani and Kurdghelauri will be provided with natural gas.
Within the frames of the Village Support Programme natural economic gas is already available for the population of Telavi and surrounding villages which had been impossible to do for over 14 years.
On 27 July the representatives of Wissol Gas Distribution Company together with local government officials held an official opening ceremony of the ongoing gasification works in the Telavi region, eastern Georgia, within the frames of the Village Support Programme.
The event was attended by Vice-Speaker of Parliament Mikheil Machavariani, MP Gia Arsenishvili, Vasil Davitashvili, the Chief of Telavi Municipality and Giorgi Gviniashvili, Governor of the Kakheti region along with Wissol representatives.
“Within the frames of the agricultural Village Support Programme together with Wissol petroleum and the municipality’s government, we will be able to complete gasification in the Vardisubani village within a year. In fact we have to do more as our main priority is the employment of our citizens, and we will continue to do more in that direction in the future,” said Mikheil Machavariani, Vice-Speaker for Parliament.
Wissol Gas Distribution Company has been providing Telavi with gas since March 2008. There are already more than 10,000 people with access to gas. In addition 1,000 more will have natural gas by the end of this year. Works have been completed in 16 villages. In the beginning of August gasification will start in Ikalto.
As Wissol General Director Vasil Khorava declared, gradually Telavi and its surrounding villages will be fully supplied by Wissol Gas.
“Caring about our society is part of our corporate social responsibility. By supplying gas to the villagers of Khakheti we are ensuring that they save a lot on their social spending, which they were not used to in the past. It will also support the development of different industries in the Kakheti region as well as reducing ecological harm to the environment.
These villages were not supplied by gas even during the Soviet times. But we took the plunge and have already covered 15-16 villages in Telavi. We also increased the number of our customers by 10,000 right after Telavi Gas Distribution Company was acquired by Wissol Gas,” said Khorava.
