Investments in energy infrastructure in Bashkiria exceeded 8 billion rubles

Speaking at the 8th meeting of the State Assembly—Kurultai of the Republic of Bashkortostan of the seventh convocation, which included a report on the government's work in 2023, Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic Andrey Nazarov noted that over five years, annual investments in energy infrastructure have increased by 62%, exceeding 8 billion rubles.

Among the significant implemented projects are the Uzyan—Bainazarovo high-voltage line in the Burzyansky district and the Gvardeiskaya, Romanovka, Kustarevskaya, Nagaevo, and Flowers of Bashkiria substations in Ufa. These will provide a reliable power supply to the dynamically developing metropolitan suburbs.

“We completed the task of Decree 310 on commissioning 50 MW of generation based on renewable energy sources ahead of schedule. We launched the Sterlibashevskaya, Gafuriyskaya, and Agidelskaya solar power plants with a total capacity of over 100 MW. We are now determining promising options for developing the Trans-Ural energy system together with the Russian Ministry of Energy,” noted Andrey Nazarov.

The Prime Minister also spoke about the successful gas motor fuel market development. Since 2019, 35 automobile gas-filling compressor stations have opened, totaling 51 in the republic. Based on this indicator, Bashkiria is second in the country. A pilot project to create fast charging stations for electric vehicles is also being implemented. 23 such objects have already appeared.
