2025: Technopark construction for ₽4,7 billion
The public law company Russian Environmental Operator will finance the construction of the Central Ecotechnopark in the Tambov Region with a total value of ₽4,7 billion through a preferential loan. This was announced on January 20, 2025 by the general director of the REO Denis Butsaev.
According to Kommersant, permission has already been received to build the first stage of the complex. The facility will include a plant for the treatment, disposal and disposal of waste, as well as a high-tech landfill for the disposal of "tailings."
The design capacity of the complex will be 260 thousand tons of waste per year for processing, 122 thousand tons for utilization and 207 thousand tons for disposal. According to Denis Butsaev, the construction of an ecotechnopark will help avoid the risk of overcrowding of existing landfills in the region by 2025.
The project was initiated in 2019 by the regional operator Tambov Grid Company JSC. Initially, it was planned to create a complex with a capacity of 300 thousand tons per year for processing and 240 thousand tons per year for placement with an investment volume of ₽1,9 billion.
In 2022, the parameters of the complex were adjusted towards a decrease in capacity, and the implementation dates were postponed to 2024. At the beginning of 2024, the regional authorities entered into a concession agreement with Ecotechnopark Tambov LLC for the construction of an object within a radius of 40 kilometers from the regional center.
{{The Russian environmental operator "will provide at least 55% of the total investment as a concessional loan, - Denis Butsaev emphasized during a meeting with Acting Governor Yevgeny Pervyshov.}}
The construction of the ecotechnopark is part of a program to modernize the waste management system in the Tambov region. The facility will allow the introduction of modern technologies for the processing and disposal of waste, as well as reduce the burden on the existing infrastructure.
According to the Ministry of Fuel and Energy and Housing and Communal Services of the Tambov Region, the commissioning of the facility is scheduled for 2025. The project is implemented taking into account all the necessary environmental requirements and standards.[1]
