The Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev signed a directive on provision of the subsidy funds for new power line “Nera-Olchan” — “Plant” construction within the framework of establishment of Taryn Mine infrastructure in the Oimyakon Area of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
