Electricity loss reduction activities
One of the Company’s priorities is to reduce electricity losses.
As of the end of 2021, the effect of implementing measures aimed at reducing electricity losses during transmission amounted to 127 mn kWh (RUB 720 mn) in total, including due to the following:
- Administrative measures — 32 mn kWh (RUB 192 mn)
- Engineering measures — 5 mn kWh (RUB 19 mn)
- Improvement of power metering — 89 mn kWh (RUB 509 mn)
In the future, this work is supposed to continue.
The activities under the power loss reduction programme were completed, the target programme indicator, i.e., level of electricity losses, was achieved.
Electricity metering
As at 31 December 2021, there were a total of 1,173,265 delivery points in the Company’s operational area.
On 21 January 2020, The Board of Directors of the Company approved the Smart Metering Development Programme for 2020–2030 (Minutes No. 374/2020) (hereinafter referred to as the ProgrammeThe programme was approved in accordance with Federal Law No. 522-FZ dated 27 December 2018 On Amending Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation due to the Development of Electric Energy (Power) Metering Systems in the Russian Federation and the Smart Metering Development Concept of PJSC Rosseti in Retail Markets approved by the Management Board of PJSC Rosseti (Minutes No. 885pr/1 dated 26 June 2019).).
