Operating results of fuel-energy complex and utilities during the heating season 2010/2011 summarized in Tatarstan

President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov suggests that citizens having debts for housing-communal services should be assisted in job search. The proposal was made at a session of RT Cabinet “On operating results of fuel-energy complex and housing-communal services during the heating season 2010/2011 and tasks for efficient preparation for heating season 2011/2012”.

RT Premier Ildar Khalikov, RT Vice-premier – Minister of energy Ilshat Fardiev and other officials took part in a meeting.

According to Minister of construction, architecture ad housing Irek Faizullin timely payment for housing-communal services and accounts for energy supply play an important role in functioning of housing-communal complex. “The dynamics of payment collection for utilities is irregular and is characterized by yearly decrease in the first quarter and further growth in next quarters”, - he said. By words of Irek Faizullin, analysis of dynamics of payment collection for the first quarter 2011 showed the improvement of this factor in comparison with 2009 and 2010. But the second quarter 2011 was marked by decrease of collection rate versus the same period of 2010. For July 1 total sum of debts for the working period of managing companies has made 3 bln. 88 mln. roubles.

RT Premier reminded about major accidents in the sphere of housing sector, which had happened in winter because of hard weather conditions. “Though accidents were debugged we have to provide the system of immediate informing and more accurate data given by the energy Ministry. “By and large, we overcame winter though there were some extreme moments connected with icing. Our services did their best to solve the problems. We also realized our weak points. Those objects which should function in any situation must be provided with an alternate supply source”, - RT President said. By his words the main reasons of accidents are weather abnormalities and human factor.

Well-coordinated work of all ministries, departments and municipal formations on preparation for heating season should be organized, Ildar Khalikov stressed.

Head of Tatarstan proposed organizing heat supply earlier because citizens are not satisfied with the terms.
