History

2024: Plant Construction

In the Voskresensky urban district of the Moscow region, the construction of a plant for the energy disposal of municipal solid waste is being completed. As of October 22, 2024, the readiness of the facility near the village of Svistyagino reached 92%, a trial launch of the boiler plant was carried out.

According to TASS, the total investment in the construction of five similar enterprises in the Moscow region and the Republic of Tatarstan is ₽188 billion. The total capacity of the plants will exceed 3 million tons of waste per year.

The general director of RT-Invest, Andrei Shipelov, said that the enterprise in Svistyagino will be able to dispose of up to 700 thousand tons of unsuitable garbage annually, which will preserve more than 6 thousand hectares of fertile agricultural land in the Moscow region.

The project is being implemented as part of a garbage reform launched in 2017. The concept provides for the creation of 14 waste recycling complexes in the Moscow region for sorting and recycling waste. Non-recyclable materials will be sent for thermal disposal.

RT-Invest, part of the Rostec state corporation, is building four such plants in Voskresensky, Solnechnogorsk, Naro-Fominsk and Bogorodsky districts. Their total capacity will be 2.8 million tons of waste per year - this is half of the total volume of recyclable garbage in the region.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev instructed to prevent another postponement of the launch of enterprises. It was originally planned to open factories in 2023, but due to sanctions, the deadlines were adjusted. Russian specialists have mastered previously imported technologies, including the deposition of a special nickel alloy on the heat exchange surface of boilers.

The electricity produced by all four plants will provide the needs of about 1 million residents of the capital region.^[1]
