YAKUTSK, March 13. /TASS/. A pilot project to design and build energy-efficient comfortable residential buildings is planned to be launched in Yakutia's Arctic districts, the region's document on state policies reads.

Earlier, the region adopted the document for the term of up to 2024. The region's Governor Aisen Nikolayev has inked a new version for the period of up to 2030.

"Yakutia's government is <...> to ensure the implementation of priority tasks, including: <...> the upgrade of social infrastructures and organization of a comfortable space by 2030, <...> to ensure the implementation of a pilot project in the Arctic districts to design and build energy-efficient comfortable residential buildings," the document reads.

In compliance with the document, from 2025, the government will subsidize costs to deliver construction materials to the Arctic districts. At least 5 social facilities will be built in places where the North's low-numbered indigenous peoples traditionally live and work.

At least 80% of the Arctic districts will be within the coverage of digital radio broadcasting and shortwave radio. The districts will have a special housing stock, which will be used also to accommodate people employed in the Arctic zone.

Yakutia's Arctic Zone includes 13 districts: Abysky, Allaikhovsky, Anabarsky, Bulunsky, Verkhnekolymsky, Verkhoyansky, Nizhnekolymsky, Zhigansky, Momsky, Oleneksky, Srednekolymsky, Ust-Yansky and Even-Bytantaysky.
