History
2025: The Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation estimated the cost of switching to smart gas meters at ₽550 billion
in Department of Energy Russia July 2025, it estimated the total funding for the smart gas metering program at ₽550 billion, including equipment installation, infrastructure modernization and development. software Over a ten-year period, the country will need to install and replace about 25 million gas meters. At the same time, the department predicts an increase in tax revenues to the budget by ₽240 billion from the production of smart metering devices in 2025-2036.
As reported TASS with reference to the minutes of the visiting meeting of the State Duma Committee on, to power the introduction of an intelligent gas metering system will affect not only suppliers and consumers, but also related sectors of the economy. The growth in the production of smart meters will increase the need for components and materials, stimulating the development of communications, microelectronics, the production of plastics and power supplies.
According to the calculations of the Ministry of Energy, the tax on additional profit in 2025-2036 may amount to about ₽80,9 billion. The implementation of the project will provide approximately 15 thousand jobs, and the payment of personal income tax during the implementation of the system can reach approximately ₽21,4 billion.
The switch to smart meters will lead to improved accuracy, timeliness and objectivity of gas metering. The use of devices with temperature compensation will eliminate about 4% of losses in gas flow measurements. Timely receipt of gas consumption data will be ensured by remote automatic transmission of readings.
The meeting noted the problems of the existing accounting system. The transmission of indicators by consumers takes place on different days, and some of them transmit inaccurate data on gas consumption or do not transmit them at all. Smart meters will solve these problems by automating the process.[1]
2024: Gazprom begins installing smart gas meters with universal SIM cards
Gazprom and Gazprom Mezhregiongaz in early June 2024 announced the start of installing smart gas meters equipped with universal SIM cards. The new devices will significantly increase the accuracy of gas metering and improve control over its consumption. Read more here.
2019: "Smart" meters "Rostec" will help save gas
On July 30, 2019, the Roselectronics holding of Rostec State Corporation announced that in 2020 it will launch mass production of smart gas, water and electricity metering devices that allow managing energy consumption using a special mobile application. The system will tell the consumer how to save energy resources due to the optimal operation of household appliances. The announced measuring devices will be built on a domestic element base and Russian software. Read more here.
2018: Smart gas meters to be installed in Moscow
Moscow will be the first city in Russia in which the technology of a smart city will be damaged. The gas supply organization of the Moscow region "Mosoblgaz" plans to install smart meters that will automatically transmit consumption data to the server. Read more here.
