The project has received approval from the relevant ministry and has been included in the city's heating supply scheme. The parties agreed to work on the organizational aspects necessary for the project's implementation.

Gennady Trukhanov highlighted that the project is crucial for the city's ecology and energy supply, and he hopes that it can commence as soon as possible.
