Tatarstan has updated more than 80 km of engineering networks since 2021

Since 2021, 804 km of engineering networks have been updated in Tatarstan. This was announced by Chairman of the State Tariff Committee Renat Gainutdinov during a panel discussion on the modernization of municipal infrastructure at the BRICS International Construction Week.

During this period, the scale of investment work in the utilities sector has significantly increased: the number of investment programs of regulated organizations has increased from 30 to 79, and the volume of their financing from 13 to 40 billion rubles.

Significant investments in modernization are planned for 2026. According to federal and republican programs, 15.72 billion rubles will be allocated, another 40.55 billion will be allocated within the framework of investment programs of regulated organizations.

Renat Gainutdinov drew attention to the importance of not only increasing funding, but also monitoring the effectiveness of projects. He explained that after the commissioning of facilities, there are fixed costs for maintenance, repair and electricity, and these costs are subsequently reflected in tariffs.

The State Committee identified three key areas of work. First, an assessment of how the construction of public utilities at the expense of the budget will affect future tariffs is carried out: conclusions were prepared on 162 water supply and sanitation facilities and 18 heat supply facilities. Secondly, the rules of technological connection are monitored: 83 facilities have been connected. Thirdly, the effectiveness of investment programs increases: specific indicators are used for this, including the number of outages per kilometer of the network, the average time for eliminating accidents and the degree of wear and tear of equipment.

Since 2024, the department has been systematizing data on communal facilities. Technical expertise helps to eliminate inefficient projects before they are included in the programs. This work is carried out jointly with the authorities, municipalities and resource-supplying organizations.
