"Kommunenergo" failed to challenge the decree on the enhanced readiness mode.

      The Arbitration Court of the Kirov Region rejected "Kommunenergo"'s claim to declare the Nolin District Administration's decree on the introduction of an enhanced readiness regime invalid. The court found that the authorities' decision complied with the law and was aimed at preventing disruption of the heating season.

      The basis for the decree was the absence of heat supply to social facilities by "Kommunenergo" by the scheduled start date of the heating season. The administration conducted an inspection and found that the company was unprepared to launch most of its boiler houses, and debts to the gas supplier exceeded 25 million rubles. To prevent an emergency, heating functions were temporarily transferred to another organization.

      "Kommunenergo" insisted that it acted within the law and provided heat supply from the coal boiler house, and that transferring gas facilities violated its rights as the owner. However, the court stated that no evidence of unlawful seizure of property was presented, and all actions by the administration and the new heating organization involved the representatives of the plaintiff.

      In July 2025, the Second Arbitration Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the first instance, and the appeal filed by "Kommunenergo" was dismissed. The court confirmed that local self-government bodies acted within their powers, protecting residents' interests amidst the threat of the heating season being disrupted.
