Plans to increase the reliability of power grids for 40 regions worth about 500 billion rubles have been agreed, Irina Vasilieva, deputy director of the operational management department of the fuel and energy complex of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, told the Federation Council. Work with thirteen more subjects continues.
According to Vasilyeva, a total of 53 regions were included in the list. The rest are in the final stages, are in different degrees of readiness and will be approved in the near future. The Ministry of Energy is also examining the need to expand the list to include a few more areas. It takes systematic mass breaks into account.
Vasilieva emphasized that there are no plans to exclude regions from the list: once a region is on the list and has developed a plan to improve reliability, it must implement it.
In August 2026, the Russian government approved a list of 53 regions for which such plans should be developed. These regions include the republics of Altai, Adygea, Buryatia, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Yakutia, Khakassia, Kalmykia, Karelia, as well as Altai, Krasnoyarsk, Krasnodar, Primorsky, Stavropol Territories. The list also includes the regions of Yaroslavl, Tver, Ulyanovsk, Tomsk, Smolensk and many other subjects.
