Background

The pipeline was included in the gasification program of Gazprom for 2021-2025 for the Vologda region and the Republic of Karelia. The project was also included in the list of "Planned Transmission Gas Pipelines", released by the Ministry of Energy of Russia in May 2015 and revised in March 2024. The pipeline starts at 126th km of the Gryazovets-Leningrad Gas Pipeline in the Sheksninsky district and connects to segments I and II.

The pipeline will consist of four segments: Stage I: Sheksna-Kirillov Gas Pipeline (Russian: 1 этап. Газопровод-отвод от 0 км до ГРС «Кириллов»), Stage II: Kirillov-Lipin Bor Gas Pipeline (Russian: 2 этап. Газопровод-отвод от ГРС «Кириллов» до ГРС «Липин Бор»), Stage III: Lipin Bor-Vytegra Gas Pipeline (Russian: 3 этап. Газопровод-отвод от ГРС «Липин Бор» до ГРС «Вытегра»), and Stage IV: Vytegra-Pudozh Gas Pipeline (Russian: 4 этап. Газопровод-отвод от ГРС «Вытегра» до ГРС «Пудож»).
