By 2025, the population and quality of life in the Moscow region are projected to increase significantly, with the population growing by over 5 million people and gross regional product per capita reaching $49,000. Investment in power generation, grid infrastructure, and energy efficiency are priorities to support this growth, with over $26 billion slated for energy sector development projects between 2012-2017. Moscow aims to transition its energy system to new technologies and competitive market mechanisms by 2030 to improve energy output ratios and attract private investment.
