The Presidium of the Government Commission on Regional Development, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, approved projects to modernize public utility infrastructure in the Novosibirsk Region and the Republic of Tatarstan. These projects are being implemented under a program that utilizes preferential loans from the National Welfare Fund.

"The program's goal is to ensure the reliable operation of housing and utilities facilities. Furthermore, it is an effective tool for attracting extra-budgetary funds to the sector. Overall, under this program, which launched in 2022, more than 1,300 kilometers of utility networks and 260 site facilities have been commissioned in the regions, improving the quality of utilities for millions of Russians. Two more projects have now been approved for modernizing utility infrastructure in the areas of heat and water supply in the Novosibirsk Region and the Republic of Tatarstan. Their implementation will improve the quality of services for 47,000 residents of both regions," noted Marat Khusnullin.

The operator of this program, implemented under the supervision of the Ministry of Construction of Russia, is the Territorial Development Fund.

"According to the Novosibirsk Region project, a boiler plant with a capacity of 83.4 Gcal/hour will be built in Iskitim, along with a 1.5-kilometer section of the main heating network pipeline in the Yuzhny microdistrict. The project will ensure reliable heat supply to consumers in the city's Yuzhny and Podgorny microdistricts. The facilities are scheduled to be commissioned in 2027. The Republic of Tatarstan project calls for the construction of a water pumping station with a capacity of 13,950 cubic meters per day and 13.8-kilometer main water supply networks for the Military Town No. 32 and Eco-District areas in Kazan's Kirovsky District by the end of 2026," said Vasily Kupyzin, General Director of the Territorial Development Fund.

A total of 2.59 billion rubles will be allocated from the National Welfare Fund for the implementation of these projects, including 1.2 billion rubles to the Novosibirsk Region and 1.39 billion rubles to the Republic of Tatarstan.

In total, to date, the Presidium of the Government Commission on Regional Development has approved 253 housing and utilities modernization projects using funds from the National Welfare Fund in 76 regions.
