Companies in the Novosibirsk region have been advised to switch employees to remote work because of the fuel situation. The recommendation is contained in a regional government resolution on the introduction of a heightened readiness regime. The document advises organizations (employers) of any ownership form, except those providing essential services for the population, to move staff to remote work and reduce fuel consumption. This should be done until the heightened readiness regime is lifted, while maintaining social, economic and legislative compliance. reported in the text of the regulation (source: https://www.rbc.ru/economics/10/07/2026/6a50a90b9a7947262c12ae52).

Residents and business owners note that the move may improve traffic conditions and cut fuel use, but it also requires equipment for home offices and reliable internet. Many local companies have already arranged remote schedules, seeing a benefit in reduced travel costs. At the same time, experts point out that not all sectors can easily switch to remote work, such as those reliant on production.

According to industry analysts, the government’s initiative can significantly cut fuel usage in the region, especially in transportation and logistics sectors. However, the shift also raises questions about the readiness of digital infrastructure and employee productivity. Analysts stress that for the measure to be effective, businesses need both technical support and clear guidelines on compliance with labor laws.

Neighboring Tomsk region has taken similar steps, advising officials to hold more meetings online to save gasoline. This coordinated approach suggests a broader strategy to manage fuel resources across Siberia.
