Over 83 percent of the planned fuel deliveries to the northern and Arctic districts of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) have been completed as part of preparations for the heating season. As of today, communities across these districts have sufficient essential resources to last until the winter roads open, according to the press service of the Government of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) reports.
According to the republic’s Minister of Housing, Utilities and Energy Vyacheslav Yemelyanov, a total of 441,000 metric tons of coal, crude oil, and diesel fuel will be delivered to the districts as planned.
“All communities in the northern and Arctic districts now have sufficient fuel and energy reserves to last until the winter roads open. These supplies are enough to meet the population’s current needs and ensure that the heating season runs smoothly until seasonal roads become operational,” the minister emphasized.
The remaining fuel supplies are scheduled for delivery while winter roads are fully operational, generally from January through late March.
