Mikhail Mishustin’s opening remarks
Report by Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Irek Faizullin
Report by Minister of Energy Sergei Tsivilev
Mikhail Mishustin: Good afternoon, colleagues.
Today we will hold a traditional discussion on the preparations of electric power facilities and housing and utilities infrastructure for the winter period. The provision of electricity, heating and hot water to our people depends on the reliable operation of all engineering systems.
The replacement of old heating, water supply and sewage systems has continued throughout the year across the country. A great deal of work has been completed to ensure an uninterrupted electricity supply.
The relevant companies have been supplied with coal, fuel oil and diesel fuel in the amounts exceeding the approved standards. We are closely monitoring this.
Steady work has been organised in these spheres in the new Russian entities and border regions. It will continue until all the planned measures are implemented, primarily regarding housing and utilities infrastructure and social facilities.
Colleagues, sustainable heat and electricity supply is extremely important for our cities and towns, and for our people during the winter period. We must work as smoothly and efficiently as possible to prevent accidents and failures during the cold season.
As our head of state has pointed out, all decisions in this sphere must be implemented without fail.
Minister of Construction, Housing and Utilities Irek Faizullin and [Minister of Energy] Sergei Tsivilev provide detailed reports on these preparations at the electric power and housing and utilities facilities.
