How much gas is burned Eternal fires in Russia.
the 75-year anniversary of victory in the great Patriotic war the bulk of the Russians will meet at home: due restrictions related to the pandemic coronavirus, traditional parades on Victory Day had to be cancelled. But the need to maintain memorials in a presentable form that does not change, and the related work is systematically conducted in all regions of the country throughout the year. Notable among them are monuments, eternal lights equipped.
the Most expensive contract — 34,3 million roubles was discovered in the town of Roshal, Moscow region, located about three hours drive from the capital. The explanation for the purchase is that the contractor must carry out work on the landscaping of the memorial complex and adjacent areas on the street Kosyakova. In the auction the initial contract value was reduced on 4 million rubles.
But to say that the repair and service of all Eternal flames this year cost almost in 100 million roubles will be incorrect, because a large number of them are not serviced by local authorities and gas distribution organizations of “Gazprom Mezhregiongaz”.
press service company “Газете.Ru” said that since the beginning of the year in preparation for the celebration of Victory Day the specialists of the company have carried out maintenance 1 437 memorial with an Eternal flame 1 303 cities of Russia.
the Most unusual memorial in “Gazprom Mezhregiongaz” complex named Komsomolsk-on-Amur. There at the foot of the monument there is a brass star, the fire which is lit in 1975-m to year from open-hearth furnaces of the plant “Amurstal”, which gave the first heat in the great Patriotic war. The memorial is located 20-30 kilometers from the territory of permafrost.
the contract for the purchase of gas and maintenance of the Eternal flame in Novoaltaysk “Газета.Ru” I learned that in the year to sustain a flame requires 12 tons of liquefied gas, including VAT, it cost 480 thousand rubles.
to reduce the cost of fuel, memorials are gradually being converted to mains gas. In “Gazprom Mezhregiongaz” said that in 2020, the year by pipeline fuel transferred 31 obelisk.
In terms of pipeline gas, a single monument requires about 5.5 thousand cubic meters of gas per year. In different regions it is different: for example, in April the wholesale price of a thousand cubic meters of gas in Moscow amounted to about 5 thousand rubles ($65 at the rate of 77 rubles per dollar).
This volume can be compared with the heating of private houses: with an area of 150 square meters in the heating season to maintain a comfortable temperature takes about 1 100 cubic meters of gas. It turns out that one Eternal flame consumes as much gas, how much and private tom for 5.5 months.
From restrictive measures in a number of regions made the decision to cut budget spending on the celebration of Victory Day. Part of the cost, according to “Izvestia”, took over the Ministry of defence: military will hold aviaparade in 47 cities of the country and in some subjects will give a festive fireworks.
More than anything the festival will spend in Moscow, the newspaper writes, although the final amount will be two times less than last year: in 2019 for celebrations in the capital, spent about 450 million rubles.
In a number of subjects withdrew from the celebration purchasing the respective tender was canceled in Rostov-on-don, Khabarovsk, Belgorod, Yalta and Ryazan.
