Heat supply to settlements in Russia
The number of heat supply sources operating in the country from 2015 to 2024 is expressed in thousands. Rows distinguish total figures for Russia from urban and rural areas, showing the distribution of capacity between urban and rural settings. The annual series covers ten years and shows the overall heating infrastructure in the residential sector. Each year, the statistics include all operating facilities providing heat to residential buildings and public buildings in various types of settlements
- Number of heat supply sources, thousand — in rural areas
- Number of heat supply sources, thousand
- Number of heat supply sources, thousand — Share of heat supply sources with capacity up to 3 Gcal/hour in total number of heat supply sources, percent
- Total capacity of heat supply sources, thousand Gcal/hour — in rural areas
- Number of heat supply sources, thousand — in urban areas
- Number of heat supply sources, thousand — in rural areas
- Number of heat supply sources, thousand — in urban areas
- Total capacity of heat supply sources, thousand Gcal/hour — in rural areas
- Total capacity of heat supply sources, thousand Gcal/hour — Share of heat energy losses in total heat supplied to the network, percent
- Total capacity of heat supply sources, thousand Gcal/hour — in urban areas

Set in numbers
The table holds 21 series, running from 2015 to 2024, 6 reporting periods. 126 values in total.
Between 2015 and 2024 “Number of heat supply sources, thousand” declined from 76 to 74.8 — 1.6%. The highest value in the series is 77.3 in 2020.
All table numbers are series: 21
How to read this table
Comparing rows helps identify the share of heat supply concentrated in urban versus rural areas. The total number of sources can be compared with figures for specific types of terrain to determine the urban sector's share of the total structure. The difference between these series illustrates the specifics of heating organization in different built environments. Analyzing rows over different years allows for tracking whether the number of sources decreased or remained stable in specific types of settlements
What is visible in these numbers
The largest value belongs to “Total capacity of heat supply sources, thousand Gcal/h — Length of heating and steam networks in two-pipe equivalent — total, km” — 167,188; the smallest is “Total capacity of heat supply sources, thousand Gcal/hour — in urban areas” at 12.1. The gap between them is 13,817-fold.
The same indicator for other periods
These series cannot be stitched together Over the common period 2015 values diverge — Rosstat recalculated the indicator using a revised methodology. They cannot be combined into a single chart: a break would appear at the junction, which did not actually occur

Period and application
The statistical series covers the period from 2015 to 2024 and is updated annually by Rosstat. Data on the number of heat supply sources is useful for housing and utility specialists, urban planners, and economists studying residential infrastructure. The information allows for assessing the state of heating systems nationwide without the need for manual regional data collection. This data serves as a basis for analyzing network wear and planning the modernization of thermal facilities in Russia
