levels of natural gas supply [have reached]


Explanation:
"degree" doesn't work. "gasification" means "conversion to gas", which may be appropriate here, but it's an awkward word. "levels" sounds better to me in the plural.

  -> Thanks Chris
disagree  Andrew Anisimov: In example it means covered level, conected to gas suply system/ total population + you're right anyway this expression can have 2 meanings. Sorry
1 hr
  -> That's what I think it means as well!
disagree  Michael Tovbin: Levels as in amounts delivered, maybe. "Levels of gas deliveries stood at 54% of last years'".+Penetration? Not particularly. But it is a better semantic fit to the source.
1 hr
  -> "levels of natural gas supply have reached 54% in domestic households" seems OK to me, but you could use "penetration" if you like.

  -> Спасибо, Андрей! В газе не копенгаген, то US-текстов по оценке уровня телефонизации в России и др. странах пришлось переводить очень много.
agree  Andrew Sabak: Could say "market penetration" if sales-related, or "availability" if infrastructure-related
1 hr
  -> Спасибо, Андрей! Для телефонии тексты касались и маркетинга, и разветвленности. Первая встреча с термином была неприятной. Помощь двух US-инжнеров и наших дала перевод.
