22/ 01/ 2021

21 January 2021. Kyiv Regional Gas Company built RGC Production, a modern automated factory producing gas equipment in Dnipro, from the ground up. It has the production capacity of 1000 gas pressure regulating stations of cabinet type and gas metering units per year. The first such factory was commissioned in Lviv a year and a half ago. The modern automated RGC Production factory in Dnipro was constructed in 6 months, a record-breaking time. It will meet the demand for modern gas regulating equipment in the eastern and southern regions of Ukraine, home to more than 5 million families consuming the natural gas. “Regional Gas Company is actively upgrading gas distribution networks using the most state-of-the-art gas equipment of its own production. Our experts have the production processes under full control at all stages, and the components are imported to Ukraine under international supply contracts with European manufacturers, - says Mr. Alexei Tyutyunnik, Chief Operating Officer at RGC. – We plan to dynamically increase the share of modern gas equipment in the Ukrainian market and have been already looking into the possibilities of exporting RGC Production output to EU countries. The innovative RGC Production factory in Dnipro will produce 1,000 units per year. Modern cabinet-type gas pressure regulating stations are designed to upgrade gas distribution networks in Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions, as well as in the cities of Dnipro, Kharkiv and Kryvyi Rih. As of the beginning of 2021, there were more than 2,500 cabinet-type GPRSs in these regions, which have been in operation for more than 20 years and need to be replaced. “New RGC Production factory was constructed taking into account the experience gained from construction and operations of similar facilities in Lviv. The state-of-the-art equipment has been installed in Dnipro, including a metal laser cutting machine and two welding robots, - says Mr. Dmytro Rubel, a factory CEO. – There is also a more powerful chamber for baking powder paints. It will allow to apply a thicker layer of plasticized paint and extend the life of the equipment to 30 - 35 years instead of the standard life cycle of 18 years. Regional Gas Company continues to actively scale up the production of modern gas equipment throughout Ukraine. The construction of a modern automated RGC Production factory has already begun in Vinnytsia. We are currently constructing the premises for the next RGC Production factory in Vinnytsia, says Mr. Oleksandr Volovych, Project Manager, RGC Production. - It will supply GPRSs to modernize gas distribution networks in Khmelnytsky, Rivne, Chernivtsi and Zhytomyr regions. It is scheduled for commissioning at the beginning of the next year. Note. Regional Gas Company is a service company that develops innovative and integrated solutions for the energy sector, aimed at improving the quality of the customer service, modernization of the industry and implementation of European standards by distribution system operators (DSO). RGC brand rings together 20 gas DSOs maintaining more than 250,000 km of gas pipelines and servicing more than 8 million gas consumers.
