Currently, no systematized approach towards pre-scheduled goods delivery management in the region
under study has been elaborated. No unified regulatory legal act of the Russian Federation to define
the order of legal regulation of subjects, sources of finance, rights and obligations of the parties of
agreements on goods delivery, or division of responsibility between different government bodies and
levels are currently in place.
Information on the fuel prices considered in the formation of electric and thermal energy rates for
each year supplied to enterprises of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug is provided by the State
Committee for Price and Tariff Regulation, and by the State Committee for Price Making Policy,
Regional Energy Commission Sakha Republic, in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia).
Measures on improvement of pre-schedule fuel and power resources delivery
The data here and above allows us to summarize the pros and cons of the existing system of prescheduled delivery of fuels to the polar regions of Yakutia and Chukotka (Table 5).
Table 5: Pros and cons of the existing system of pre-scheduled delivery of fuel and power resources to the polar regions
of Yakutia and Chukotka.
Pros
Cons
Unified system of delivery of different types of fuel
and power resources
Need for usage of multiphased transportation and logistics
scheme
Strictly centralized transport and financial support
for fuels delivery
State support for pre-schedule delivery of fuel and
power resources including payments to suppliers,
transport and energy companies
State control over delivery and consumption of fuel
and power resources
Long period of fuels delivery to ultimate consumers
High delivery expenses; 2-3 times higher than the cost of fuel
and power resources
Multiple re-loading and inter seasonal storage of fuel and power
resources in en route storage facilities
Huge losses of resources in terms of quality and volumes along
the technological chain “fuels producer - consumer “
Exceptional dependency on petroleum products supply from
outside the regions
Necessity for storage of large reserves of petroleum products
Large suppliers and consumers of fuel and power
resources capable of organizing relatively efficient
delivery and fuel resources usage (Joint Stock
companies
“Sakhaneftegazsbyt”
and
“Yakutskenergo”, State Unitary Enterprise
“Chukotkasnab”, etc.)
Competitive selection of suppliers of fuels and
transportation companies
State and regional programs on support of preschedule delivery and consumption of fuel and
power resources and regular up-grading of such
programs

Insufficient levels of usage of local energy sources, notably,
coal
Lack of standardized boiler equipment and noncompliance
with fuel types
Low energy efficiency of fuel usage
Social and economic inequality of population in various regions
with similar climatic conditions
