"The World Economic Forum holds significant importance for Yakutia, a point that cannot be exaggerated"

In the far-eastern region of Yakutia, a series of significant developments have taken place, transforming the landscape of the region.

The combined electricity generation on energy-isolated territories has demonstrated impressive results, reducing diesel fuel consumption by up to 30%. This initiative, coupled with the implementation of various energy facilities, such as the Novoleninskaya TES, the second stage of the Neryungrinskaya GRES, and the second stage of the Yakutskaya GRES, among others, is creating a more sustainable energy future for Yakutia.

The discussion of using small mobile nuclear reactors is gaining traction in Yakutia and Chukotka. These reactors, with capacities ranging from 2 to 110 MW, could potentially address the energy supply challenges in remote locations and isolated villages, such as Yakutsk, the capital city, as well as Mirny, Aldan, and Neryungri.

The "Far Eastern Incentive" has played a pivotal role in Yakutia's economic growth over the past 10 years, generating 100-120 billion rubles for the region's economy. This incentive has not only resulted in the creation of tens of thousands of jobs but has also significantly contributed to the development of energy and transport infrastructure. The forum has also been instrumental in attracting over 1 trillion rubles into Yakutia's economy.

ALROSA, one of the largest Russian mining companies, is considering diversifying into polymetallic ore exploration. The company is currently conducting diamond exploration within licensed areas where it holds prospects for polymetallic ores, gold, and rare earth metals.

The "Far Eastern Allowance" is proposed to be preserved until 2035, and budgetary institutions and housing and communal services institutions are proposed to be reincluded in the list of institutions that receive the allowance. The development of small and medium businesses in the Arctic could be at risk if this allowance is cancelled.

In addition to economic growth, Yakutia is also set to host the "Path of the Warrior" military-tactical competition for the first time. Four finalist teams will be selected from across Russia, with the final round taking place in Yakutsk from September 15.

On the first day of the 10th Eastern Economic Forum, an agreement was signed to attract over 8.5 billion rubles for building a modern logistics hub for Ozon. These developments underscore Yakutia's growing importance as a hub for business and innovation in the Far East.

The additional costs for energy tariffs in energy-isolated regions until 2035 are estimated at 135 billion rubles. The proposed "Far Eastern Allowance" funds should be specifically directed towards the modernization of these facilities, primarily isolated generation. The cost of small mobile nuclear projects is high, and government support, including support from development institutions, subsidies, and capital grants, is needed to make them affordable.

In conclusion, Yakutia is experiencing a period of significant growth and development, with advancements in energy, business, and innovation. The region's future looks promising, with potential for continued growth and development in the coming years.
