Gazprom Mezhregiongaz Izhevsk has taken stock of the work done by its subscriber service in the first five months of 2020. From January through May of this year, more than 9,000 users created personal accounts at the мойгаз.смородина.онлайн website, as a result of which its subscriber base expanded to 55,461 people.
This period of operation partially overlapped with the period of self-isolation during which the company’s settlement centers were closed for consumers. Thanks to the company’s online services, the system for receiving and transmitting gas meter readings, charging gas bills and making gas payments functioned without failures.
“Since the start of the year, a total of 24,377 payments for gas have been made through the Smorodina (Currant) personal account system. In April and May, the monthly increases exceeded 1,000 payments. These figures indicate that a growing number of users have the opportunity to appreciate the convenience and reliability of the online services and to use them for reporting meter readings, receiving bills, paying for gas, and addressing other issues,” said Alexey Samkov, Deputy Director General for Gas Sales.
