The capital has approved plans for the city's municipal services complex for the current year. Sergei Sobyanin announced this on his channel inMAX messenger.
Among the tasks:
— carrying out major repairs in 1,796 buildings and replacing 5,574 elevators;
— reconstruction of 439.6 kilometers of power transmission lines, 79 kilometers of heating networks, 36.5 kilometers of cable collectors, 68.5 kilometers of water supply networks, 52.7 kilometers of drainage networks and 24.9 kilometers of sewer networks, construction of over 145 kilometers and reconstruction of 19.2 kilometers of gas networks;
— reconstruction of educational and healthcare facilities, renovation of 12 “My Documents” centers;
— improvement of the Luzhniki Olympic complex (second stage, 21.4 hectares);
— development of 23 new year-round sports grounds, six flagship ski trails with a total length of 141.4 kilometers, and 15 recreation areas near the water;
— equipping 139 city objects with architectural and artistic lighting;
— repair of asphalt concrete road surfaces, intra-block and courtyard driveways with an area of 25 million square meters;
— rehabilitation of 13 ponds.
Earlier, on November 25, 2025, Sergei Sobyanin approved plans for the improvement of Moscow for 2026.
Sergei Sobyanin approved Moscow's improvement plans for 2026.In 2025, more than 15 hectares of territory around new medical facilities were improved.
Public utilities infrastructure
Timely preventative maintenance, repairs, and upgrades are key to the reliable and trouble-free operation of all Moscow's utility systems.
In 2025, specialists from the city's infrastructure complex completed reconstruction and development work on 49.6 kilometers of drainage systems, 45.7 kilometers of sewer systems, and 94 kilometers of water supply systems. They also reconstructed 262.8 kilometers of power lines, 66.24 kilometers of heating networks, and built over 144 kilometers and reconstructed 37 kilometers of gas networks.
In 2026, they plan to reconstruct 439.6 kilometers of power lines, 79 kilometers of heating networks, 36.5 kilometers of cable collectors, 68.5 kilometers of water pipes, 52.7 kilometers of drainage pipes, and 24.9 kilometers of sewer pipes, as well as build more than 145 kilometers and reconstruct 19.2 kilometers of gas networks.
"In 2024–2025, cable lines laid along the Moscow River bed last century were upgraded. This increased the reliability of power supply to the city center and expanded the connection options for new consumers," wrote Sergei Sobyanin.

In 2025, Rosseti Moscow Region PJSC built and commissioned a new high-voltage power supply center in Krasnaya Pakhra. Additionally, a new unified control center was opened, which centrally manages the company's distribution networks.
Comprehensive efforts to improve the reliability of the city's energy and utility infrastructure have not only reduced network deterioration annually but also completely eliminated shortages and created a necessary reserve. This ensures that the needs of important city programs and infrastructure projects are met, and Muscovites receive uninterrupted energy supplies.
Unique Works: Sobyanin Talks About Updating Lines on the Moskva RiverSobyanin explained how modern technologies help city services.
In recent years, the energy intensity of Moscow's gross regional product has decreased by 40 percent—from 4.5 kilograms of standard fuel per thousand rubles in 2010 to 2.7 kilograms in 2026.
Moscow's district heating system is the largest in the world, stretching over 19,000 kilometers. Today, all 13 of the city's combined heat and power plants (CHPs) operate on natural gas, the most environmentally friendly fuel. Their equipment is regularly upgraded, and modern process control and monitoring systems are being implemented. Heat and electricity must be supplied to homes, social institutions, and businesses without interruption. Therefore, modernization of equipment at CHP-21, CHP-22, CHP-23, and CHP-25 continued in 2025. This will increase its service life and reduce specific fuel consumption.
"We are actively developing the utility infrastructure of the New Moscow. Extensive work has been completed to upgrade water supply and wastewater disposal facilities, and construction of a new system-forming gas distribution network is ongoing," added Sergei Sobyanin.

Specifically, the reconstruction of the water intake facilities at FIAN in Troitsk (capacity: 4,000 cubic meters per day) and Remzavod (capacity: 3,000 cubic meters per day) was completed. The main reconstruction work on the Privolye and Puchkovo treatment facilities (capacity: 1,000 cubic meters per day) was completed.
Furthermore, in 2025, Mosvodokanal JSC launched its own plant producing reagents for drinking water treatment. Its production capacity will cover the needs of all four Moscow water treatment plants.
As part of import substitution, well-type sewage pumping stations were launched into production. They collect wastewater and pump it to treatment facilities and can be quickly installed in areas with complex geology.
Last year, restoration of the Rostokinsky Aqueduct, a federal cultural heritage site, was completed. Thanks to these efforts, the historic appearance of this key element of Moscow's first water supply system was preserved. The aqueduct is now part of the walking route in Yauza Park.
Since 2018, large-scale construction work has been underway in the New Moscow Administrative Okrug (TiNAO) to build a new system-forming gas distribution network to meet the current and future needs of both districts.
Over the past 15 years, more than 1,800 kilometers of gas pipelines have been built and reconstructed in Moscow.A large water intake facility was reconstructed in the New Moscow Administrative Okrug.
As part of this work, specialists from Mosgaz JSC built more than 247 kilometers of high-pressure backbone networks (including 35 kilometers in 2025), as well as large gas distribution points: Likovsky (capacity – 141 thousand cubic meters per hour), Desna (100 thousand cubic meters per hour), and Nikolsky (70 thousand cubic meters per hour).
In 2025, construction of Mosgaz's new production and administrative complex in the village of Armeyskoye continued. It will become the center for technological development and management of the gas infrastructure in the New Moscow.
A large-scale project to reconstruct 12 underwater gas pipelines (water crossings) laid in the city's central districts between 1939 and 1965 has been completed. Work began in 2018 and covered approximately nine kilometers of pipelines. Modern trenchless technologies were used for the renovation, using microtunneling under the riverbed at a depth of approximately 20 meters.
Not only are existing gas pipelines being reconstructed, but new ones are also being built. The Shelepikhinsky gas pipeline, which runs under the Moskva River and connects Bolshaya Filevskaya Street with the Shelepikhinskaya Embankment, was completed at the end of 2025. The new facility has increased the reliability of gas supply to the western part of the city and created additional reserve capacity for residential development and industrial consumers.
