en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Russian Federation Government has strengthened oversight of investment plans in the housing and utilities sector, with new regulatory procedures set to take effect in early 2027. According to the press service of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, specific requirements have been approved for regional state regulation of resource supply organizations (РСО) in the areas of heat supply, water supply, and wastewater disposal.

Starting September 1, 2025, a federal law will come into effect, introducing mandatory approval of investment plans, a mechanism for earmarking depreciation charges for investment purposes, and long-term regulatory agreements. Under the current legal framework, depreciation deductions may be used for purposes unrelated to facility modernization, accelerating the aging of infrastructure. Regulatory agreements, which have been successfully applied in the electric power industry, are expected to enhance the investment attractiveness of resource supply organizations.

The new regulatory system is risk-oriented, allowing regional regulators not only to review documents but also to conduct on-site facility inspections, verify the consistency of actual conditions with reports, and check whether facilities have been commissioned and whether their technical characteristics meet design values. Based on federal requirements, each region will develop its own regulatory provisions, detailing supervision and inspection procedures and specifying authorized bodies. This initiative aims to improve investment efficiency in the housing and utilities sector and ensure the modernization of infrastructure.
