Instructions on implementing the social gas infrastructure development programme

The Government of the Russian Federation has been instructed to amend legislation to extend the social gas infrastructure development programme to apply to rural cultural centres.

The Government of the Russian Federation has also been instructed to allocate an additional 1.2 billion rubles from its reserve fund to regional budgets in 2026 to provide subsidies to people under the social gas infrastructure development programme, for the purchase of gas equipment and connection work within land plots to gas distribution networks. It has also been instructed to conduct prompt monitoring and analysis of the affordability of gas equipment installed in homes and the cost of installation services, including for people who do not receive the relevant subsidies.

The Federal Anti-Monopoly Service, jointly with the senior officials of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, has been instructed to monitor the pricing of gas equipment installed in homes and the cost of installation services.
