A meeting of the Association for Facilitation of the Digital Development
took place in the capital of Tatarstan. It was attended by the Rais (Head) of
Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, the Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin. Dmitry Kremlyov,
Head of the Information Technology and Communications Department of Kazan,
reported to the head of the republic on the implementation of the Digital Kazan
project. At the ceremony held after the meeting, the Rais of Tatarstan awarded
him the honorary title of Honored IT&C Worker of Tatarstan.
Issues of interaction with legal entities and the introduction of a smart
electricity metering system in apartment buildings were discussed at the
meeting. In addition, the issues of the application of data analysis technology
and machine learning in electric grid organizations, the development of the
billing system of housing and utilities services, and other aspects were
discussed.
Since 2009, Tatenergosbyt company has been a link between producers and
consumers of electricity, as well housing and utilities services in the
republic. The company implements modern electronic projects, one of which is
the Unified Payment Center. According to the head of the republic, it allowed
to improve the service for customers, ensure the level of transparency and
collection of payments.
“In Tatarstan, the level of collection of payments for housing and
utilities services exceeds 99%. This result is due to the fact that the Unified
Payment Center serves 82% of the housing stock of the republic. At the same
time, municipalities have reserves for switching to payments with the Center,”-
said Rustam Minnikhanov. He instructed the heads of municipal districts,
together with the Ministry of Construction, Architecture and Housing of
Tatarstan, to strengthen work in this area.
Further, the meeting heard reports on the "Concept of creating a digital
platform for genetic data in the Republic of Tatarstan" and "Ensuring
the discipline of financial flows in the electric power industry and housing
and communal services by Tatenergosbyt JSC."
