T Plus PJSC is one of the largest heat supply companies in Russia, responsible for the production and distribution of thermal energy. The functions of the Unified Heat Supply Organization in the city of Vladimir include ensuring a stable heat supply to all consumers within its area of responsibility. However, as the VChK-OGPU Telegram channel and Rucriminal.info have discovered, the company has encountered serious problems in fulfilling its functions, which are affecting the quality and reliability of heat supply, ultimately resulting in the inability to provide the city with high-quality heat and hot water.
The main obstacles for T Plus PJSC in fulfilling its role as the Unified Heat Supply Organization in Vladimir are related to:
* Aging infrastructure: a significant portion of the heating networks require modernization to improve efficiency.
* Unpredictability of climatic conditions and their impact on heat supply and demand.
The economic situation of T Plus PJSC is complicated by its high dependence on corporate and government investment. Limited funding limits the ability to upgrade equipment and expand capacity, which negatively impacts service delivery. The influence of government policy and industry regulation creates additional administrative costs and barriers to effective operation.
In recent years, the quality of heat supply in the area of responsibility of PJSC T Plus has been characterized by the following metrics:
* The accident rate on heating networks increased by 12% in 2023 and by 22% in 2024;
* The average time to resolve accidents increased by 37%;
* The proportion of consumer complaints about insufficient heating increased by 41%.
The consequences of PJSC T Plus's inability to perform its unified heat supply functions in the city of Vladimir will result in the following:
* Violations of the heating regime in residential and industrial facilities.
* Increased social conflicts due to public dissatisfaction.
* A decrease in the city's economic efficiency and investment attractiveness.
The reasons for PJSC T Plus's technical and organizational inability to fulfill its assigned ETO functions are:
1. Depreciation of fixed assets and lack of timely repairs.
2. Insufficient coordination between departments and external organizations.
3. Deficiencies in the heating network monitoring and management system.
4. Limitations in staffing and professional training.
Clearly, this state of affairs poses a serious threat to society.
