Prospects for gasification of the Moscow region - answering hot questions

Despite the state's huge gas reserves, most of its villages still use wood and coal to heat their homes. Such heating requires physical strength and constant control over the operation of the boiler or stove. It is also worth considering that firewood and coal are not cheap, not like gas, and during the heating season they need to be purchased and delivered to your home in large quantities.

Work on rural gasification is underway, but not at a sufficient pace.
General gasification plans cover only part of the villages; residents of others must act independently to connect to the common gas pipeline.
What difficulties does gasification of rural settlements face, at what level is the program carried out? And is it possible for village residents to connect to the centralized network themselves? Consideration of these issues should be carried out taking into account new gasification programs and changes in legislation.

Gas supply to apartments has significantly improved living conditions; it should also be available to village residents.

Advantages

A valuable natural resource, gas, is successfully used by various sectors of the national economy. It has also become an important condition for creating comfortable, convenient living conditions in a house or apartment. Gas is used for heating houses (centralized or autonomous), for cooking, heating water, and solving other household needs.

Manufacturers produce special household appliances and equipment that operate on this resource; with each model, their performance characteristics, reliability, and safety increase.

Connecting the gas supply provided not only convenience, but also significant time savings. Even heating gas boilers or stoves start working with minimal effort and do not require monitoring.

Gasification of a house in SNT in 2021

Immediately after coordination and approval of the project, our installers begin construction work as the pipeline is delivered.

Important! It is with the first work of our specialists and the involvement of special equipment that a layer of “changed their minds” appears and decided that they also need gasification.

But most often it is already too late due to the readiness of the project.

“Those who changed their minds” will also be able to connect, but after the main gasification of SNT and by paying the main investors for agreeing to tap into a private gas pipeline.

In the allotted time, our employees lay a gas pipeline throughout the territory of the entire SNT from the borders of the SNT to each house.

gasify a house in the village

If it is necessary to supply gas to a house by connecting a heating boiler and a kitchen stove, we enter into an additional contract with each of these houses in SNT at a wholesale price, since our installers work exclusively within the boundaries of the partnership for a month. These are the legal requirements.

Participation in the gasification of SNT not only saves the finances of each of its residents, but also makes the contribution of each of them less and less, and the gasification of the village more realistic.

Peculiarities

Gasification of villages is carried out according to a plan covering a certain number of settlements. But not all villages are included in this plan, which creates many problems for residents. If, after purchasing a house, its new owner wants to connect the house to the gas pipeline, does he have such an opportunity and what needs to be done to resolve the issue?

ATTENTION! First you need to find out whether the village is gasified.

If a gas pipeline branch runs through a given locality, it will be easier to bring the line to the house. It is more difficult to provide a house with gas when there is no gas supply to the village. Perhaps the settlement is included in the general gasification scheme, but the work is planned for a separate time.

Goals and objectives of the new gasification program for 2021-2025

According to the new project, it is planned to provide main gas to at least 1,135 settlements with a population of almost 600,000 people. If the implementation of the program goes according to plan, it is planned to extend it and extend it to other regions.

So far, it is not entirely clear where the new labor pipelines will be carried out. The building density in the Moscow region is very high. There is a high probability that private territories and land plots will be used for laying pipes.

The budget for the construction of new gas pipelines in the Moscow region will be at least 9 billion rubles. These funds are planned to be obtained through a special surcharge to the current tariffs. Unfortunately, none of the private investors have taken the initiative yet. But the authorities are not losing hope of attracting other sources of funding.

As of the beginning of 2021, part of the planned work has already been approved, and construction is planned to begin in the spring and summer of this year.

Connection

If the gas pipeline is already connected to the village, connecting the house to it will require a lot of work. You will need financial resources, time, and patience. But the problem can be solved. The complexity of the task lies in the fact that the street gas distribution pipeline is a capital construction project.

Therefore, work on connecting to a gas pipeline, gasification of a house is a process that requires the preparation of documentation for this facility, documentation for its commissioning, and various permitting papers. Gasification will take place in stages, with the involvement of various services and organizations. Certain conditions must also be met:

• There must be all the technical conditions for connecting the house to the gas distribution pipeline. If this equipment is outdated, it may not be designed to connect another consumer object. Most often, this problem occurs with old government systems.
• But obstacles can also arise with a new distribution installation if it is private and not properly registered. In this case, connecting to it will be a significant violation. The gas supply organization simply will not document the connection to the network or issue the necessary technical documentation.
• When it is possible to connect to a gas distribution pipeline, you must first find out who owns it. Connection to the state gas distribution system will be free.
• If the gas pipeline is private, you should first obtain permission from the owner to connect and find out the price for using the installation. You will also need to agree with the owner on the preparation of technical documentation.

There are many difficulties and nuances in the issue of connecting to a gas distribution pipeline; not every owner of a house or site can figure them out on their own. And the whole process must be completed competently and legally.

After all, significant types of punishment are provided for unauthorized connection to the network or other illegal actions. In this case, it is recommended to contact specialists from a gas supply organization operating in the region; they will be able to advise on the issue .

What is needed for gasification

Now let's move on to consider the question of what is needed to carry out gasification. To begin with, village residents must receive information about whether gasification of the village is possible.

To do this, it is necessary to create an initiative group, select a chairman, or a senior person, and empower him. To do this, citizens hold a meeting at which they express their desire to install gas, and elect a leader. All this is documented in a protocol.

The elder must compose a letter and send it to the head of the municipality (regional authority), asking for information whether their village is included in the state program or not. Depending on the response received, gasification activities will be carried out.

If the village is on the list of the state program, then the answer will indicate this information, as well as the date when work on laying pipelines will begin. Information will also be provided on how much it costs to connect to the common gas main for each residential premises.

That is, citizens need to wait for the work to begin, pay a certain amount, and wait for gas to be supplied to their home. If the answer indicates that the settlement is not subject to state gasification, then such issues must be resolved independently.

This will be discussed in detail below. You need to know that currently, for families with low incomes, the pension fund and social security authorities provide subsidies that can be used to pay for gas installation and connection.

How to bring gas to a village

At the state level, programs for gasification of rural areas have been developed; work, although slowly, is progressing. But not all villages may be included in it, and residents of included settlements sometimes do not want to wait long for a gas pipeline to be laid in the village.

Is it possible to speed up the planned gasification or organize the entire process ourselves? What will be required, first of all, is an initiative, persistent group that will act competently, taking into account the legislation and its interests.

ATTENTION! Such an initiative group must register as a consumer society.

The law provides for such registration with the issuance of a charter to this group. The group must have a leader who acts in agreement with the others. What to do next after creating a group of active village residents?

There are organizations involved in gas distribution in each region. The head of the initiative group, on behalf of the residents of the locality, submits an application for gas connection. Along with the application, he also submits a number of documents. There will be a lot of them, so you should prepare each paper in advance.

Federal gasification program “Gas to every home”

As such, there is no federal presidential program for gasification of private homes in rural areas. The program is compiled at the regional level, which includes a list of villages, hamlets and various industrial facilities. Naturally, it does not provide for the connection of specific private houses. It is planned to connect the gas pipeline to the border of the site. Therefore, everyone will have to fork out for it. However, in some cases, the issuance of subsidies for certain segments of the population is considered. These include: veterans of the Great Patriotic War, labor, disabled people of groups 1 and 2, large families, liquidators of nuclear power plants, heroes of Russia and the USSR and persons recognized as poor. The subsidy amount in 2021 is set at 50% of the cost of gasification, but not more than 20 thousand rubles.

Documentation

• The application is submitted by the head of the registered group, but he must have paper indicating the authority for these actions.
• You need to make a copy from the general plan of the area, which will indicate the location of the settlement.
• During the gasification process, individual areas and houses will be connected to the gas pipeline. It is necessary to collect documents confirming ownership of them.
• In the regional gas office or another similar organization, you should order from specialists a calculation of the amount of gas required (calculation is made in m3/year, m3/hour). It is recommended to order a calculation from the regional gas office; this organization will also be able to develop technical conditions for connection.
• When the technical specifications (TU) are received, the design documentation must also be ordered. When ordering a project from a particular company, you must first request for review permits for the provision of design services in this area. Project companies often also provide permitting services.
• The project must be agreed upon at the level of the regional and district administration.

How to apply for the construction of a gas pipeline? Required documents

Submission of applications for gas pipelines to villages or settlements is carried out according to a certain procedure. First, you need to provide all the papers to the territorial office of Mosgaz.

List of documents for obtaining technical conditions for individuals:

1. Application for technical connection in the prescribed form;
2. A copy of the passport and a copy of the document on registration with the tax authority;
3. A power of attorney or other papers that confirm the right to act on behalf of the owner of the site (if the request for provision of technical specifications is submitted by the applicant’s representative);
4. Copies of title documents for the land plot;
5. If there is a need to develop a gasification scheme - a territorial planning document, including data on the density and nature of the development;
6. Situational plan of the location of the land plot;
7. Copies of title documentation for the house and other buildings.

Work order

After the project, specifications, application for gasification of the village, and other documents have been reviewed and agreed upon at the level of the administration and the regional gas agency, the direct connection process can begin.
In each region there are organizations acting as contractors in the field of gasification work.
When choosing one of them, you should check the permit, license to provide these services, make sure they have experience and training of specialists. The contractor must indicate the cost of the work and its justification.

IMPORTANT! It is recommended to choose a contractor who can install a gas pipeline to the village and connect residential buildings and plots to it.

For such work, you need an organization with specialists of various profiles, with a sufficient amount of machinery and equipment.

Gasification of SNT in Moscow and the Moscow region 2021-2022.

Buying a country house with gas in SNT is the most affordable way to buy a country house in Moscow and the Moscow region. The popularity is due to the relatively low cost of land and the ability to register buildings as residential and obtain a residence permit.

Most of the newly created SNTs cannot be distinguished from individual housing construction settlements; they have wide roads and large plots of land, and the houses have nothing in common with houses for storing shovels and forks.

For the low cost of land, residents of gardening associations pay with some inconveniences, for which they have to pay out of their own pockets. The laying of central communications, including gas, across the SNT territory in the vast majority of cases falls on the shoulders of residents.

get advice on SNT

The Russian gasification plan bypasses the territory of gardening partnerships and, at best, runs along its borders; the authorities call this moment the “Gasification Program of the SNT of the Moscow Region”

Our company has been gasifying SNT and villages in Moscow and the Moscow region for many years; in our portfolio there are more than 12 SNT, gasified on a turn-key basis.

Who pays

Since 2021, the country has been actively working on a state program aimed at connecting villages and villages to gas pipelines. Who pays for the development of specifications and projects, the work of contractors, and the purchase of necessary equipment?

1. A village can receive gas for free if it is included in the general gasification plan. In this case, Gazprom pays for the expensive work of laying the central gas pipeline pipes to the populated area, and the municipal authorities pay for the connection of pipes from it to the residents’ homes.
2. This option is beneficial, especially if the gasification queue is not distant in time. But you still have to pay a certain amount to connect each house.
3. But not all settlements are covered by such a program; many remained outside the boundaries of the general gasification plan. If their residents decide that with a gas pipeline their life will be much more comfortable and of better quality, they must bear all the costs of completing the documentation and carrying out the work.
4. In this case, it is necessary to hold a general meeting of village residents with the mandatory indication of the decision in the minutes.

When carrying out gasification work on your own, you should take into account the provision of gasification subsidies for low-income families. You can also ask banks for loans for village residents who are independently connecting their houses to the gas pipeline.

Gasified towns and villages of the Moscow region

As of the beginning of 2021, part of the planned work has already been approved, and construction is planned to begin in the spring and summer of this year. Goals and objectives of the new gasification program for 2021-2025

How is the cost of gas supply calculated?

Many residents of towns and villages near Moscow hope that with the approval of a new gasification plan and the start of a new large-scale construction of gas pipelines, they will finally be able to solve their problem.

• the material and diameter of the pipe are taken into account;
• terrain and relief;
• natural and man-made barriers;
• the policy of the organization that performs the work.

Rural house or plot

When the gas pipeline branch is brought to the populated area, and branches are drawn from it along the streets, the stage of connecting each house to the system will begin. You must follow the connection instructions:

• The owner of the home, a future subscriber to the gas pipeline network, applies to the regional gas service with an application for connection. This document should correctly indicate the address and the exact number of devices that will operate on gas.
• A copy of the title documents for the residential property is attached to the application.
• After receiving the application, the regional gas company prepares a connection project.
• The owner of the house must buy a meter by which payment will be made. Representatives of the contractor carry out the connection.
• Regional gas workers launch the resource through pipes into the house, check the safety of the entire system

If gasification of a village is carried out according to a state or regional program, the owner of the house only pays for connecting his property to the gas pipeline. This is a significant benefit for residents of villages covered by the overall gasification plan.

But other settlements should also think about carrying out the work at their own expense, because other types of fuel are also expensive, they need to be constantly purchased, paid for delivery, loading and unloading.

Gasification plan for settlements in the Moscow region until 2021-2025

Thanks to this, in most Russian regions it will be possible to complete gasification and improve the standard of living of the population. The lack of transparent pricing in this matter often leads to various manipulations by unscrupulous contractors. Obviously, the problem could be solved if the state began to regulate this service sector more strictly.

According to experts, the gas supply deficit in New Moscow alone is 1.5 billion cubic meters. m. per year.

How is gasification carried out if the village is not included in the program?

First, you need to hold a general meeting of residents of a particular village

The process of gasification without participation in the program will occur according to the following algorithm:

1. First, it is necessary to hold a general meeting of residents of a particular village, at which the majority must be present. On it, select an initiative group and its head, who will collect all documents and sign contracts. All this is documented in the minutes of the general meeting.
2. The next step is collecting all the necessary information. To do this, the head of the initiative group must send a request to the municipal authorities so that they provide a clear list of necessary documents, as well as to the regional gas office. The latter must provide detailed information about whether it is possible to supply gas to this locality, which organizations have licenses to develop projects, and lay pipes.
3. If all the answers are positive, then the next question is determining the owner of the central gas pipeline. It could be a municipality, regional gas company, Gazprom, or any legal entity. Identification of the owner is necessary to obtain permission from him to insert other pipes through which gas will flow to residential premises.
4. The next stage is the preparation of technical documentation. To do this, the head of the initiative group must contact the design organization and conclude an agreement with them for the development of the corresponding project, as well as the cost of the work.
5. Next, it will be necessary (after receiving the project) to obtain permission (approval) from municipal and regional authorities. This will be done by the head of the group. In practice, companies that deal with project documentation include approvals in the cost of their work.
6. When the project is ready, the head of the initiative group must find a contractor that can carry out the work of laying and inserting pipes into the central gas pipeline, as well as connect all interested subscribers. Naturally, this will not be free, so you also need to agree on the cost of the work.
7. After the work is completed, subscribers buy gas appliances, they are checked by representatives of regional gas companies, and only after that the fuel is supplied to their homes.
