In 2023, a program to modernize public utilities infrastructure with support from the federal budget was launched. Under it, over 2,000 utility networks were built and modernized in Russian regions, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin reported.
“One of the key areas of work of the Russian construction complex in the coming years is the modernization of the public utility infrastructure. This is an extremely important area that directly affects the comfort, mood and well-being of our citizens. At the same time, housing and communal services are one of the most sensitive industries, requiring a lot of attention and work. On the instructions of the President, by 2030, Russia needs to improve the quality of public utilities for 20 million citizens. To achieve this goal, within the framework of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, we will actively engage in the modernization of the industry. At the same time, there are already certain results. Under the program, with the involvement of the federal budget, over 1.1 thousand events in the public utility sector have been implemented in two years. Since 2023, major repairs, construction and reconstruction of more than 2 thousand km of public utility networks, as well as industrial facilities, including boiler houses, water intake, wastewater treatment facilities have been carried out,” said Marat Khusnullin.
According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the largest volume of work was carried out by Smolensk Region, where 209.2 km of networks were updated and 6 facilities were put into operation, Sverdlovsk (189.3 km), Chelyabinsk (137.8 km and two facilities) Regions, the Republics of Tatarstan (128 km) and Bashkortostan (115 km).
“Renovation of housing and communal services is extremely important for improving the quality of life of people, ensuring the safety and energy efficiency of residential buildings. It is important to increase the pace of this work. In 2024 alone, 704 events were implemented under the program with the participation of support from the federal budget, including the construction and modernization of 1.5 thousand km of networks and the commissioning of 11 industrial facilities,” said Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services Irek Faizullin.
Ilshat Shagiakhmetov, CEO of the Territorial Development Fund, the operator of this program, reported that the modernization of the communal infrastructure in the country will be based on data from the automated information system (AIS) of the FRT.
“It is impossible to improve what cannot be measured. Therefore, the first thing is accounting. It is necessary to understand where and what specific problems need to be solved as a matter of priority. Therefore, in the AIS FRT, we have formed a database of all key elements of the public utility infrastructure. It includes 240 thousand objects, about 1 million km of utility networks and about 12 thousand resource-supplying organizations. Based on this data, together with the Ministry of Construction and the regions, we are preparing a comprehensive plan for the modernization of the public utility infrastructure. We will make every effort to successfully achieve the goals of the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, – noted Ilshat Shagiakhmetov.
The program for the modernization of public utilities infrastructure is being implemented within the framework of Government Resolution of December 8, 2022 No. 2253Under this mechanism, regions receive subsidies for the renovation of public utility facilities and networks.
