Lower-than-expected prices for elevators in Omsk revealed
In the Omsk Region, the Ministry of Energy and Housing and Communal Services is currently accepting comments and proposals on the draft resolution that adjusts the indexation of payment for capital repairs for high-rise buildings. The updated draft resolution, open for comments until August 13, sets the payment for capital repairs in buildings with elevators to 15.29 rubles per square metre in 2026.
Initially, the regional government had planned to increase the payment for capital repairs in buildings with elevators to 18.33 rubles. However, the updated draft resolution reflects a reduction in the proposed rate, although the precise reasons for this adjustment are not yet clear.
On the other hand, residents of buildings without elevators in the Omsk region will pay 13.27 rubles per square metre for capital repairs in 2026, as per the updated draft resolution.
It is worth noting that such adjustments to payments for capital repairs in Russian regions are typically due to public feedback, affordability concerns, or government budget revisions. When a proposed increase is perceived as too high, authorities may reduce it to balance repair funding needs with residents' ability to pay.
For more detailed information about the reasons behind the reduction in the proposed rate and the current proposed rate for capital repairs payments in Omsk high-rise buildings with elevators, it is recommended to consult official regional government publications or local news sources focused on housing and utilities policy in the Omsk region.
