Energy loss reduction measures

Within the priority area the Company realizes the action plan aimed at optimizing (reducing) the loss level.

Due to the implementation of the action plan for loss enhancement in 2011, the total effect amounted to 61.04 million kW/h (RUB 126.99 million).

According to the results of target measures, the economy effect amounted to 44.14 million kW/h (RUB 89.45 million) and the economy effect from measures for which loss reduction activities are supporting ones was 16.89 million kW/h (32.32 million).

The energy loss reduction plan for 2012 (in physical terms) was fulfilled to 116.8%.

Mandatory energy inspection

In order to ensure compliance with requirements of the federal laws regulating energy saving and enhancement of energy efficiency, a mandatory energy inspection and development of energy passport were carried out in the period from August 8, 2011 to December 31, 2012 in JSC IDGC of the North-West.

The requirements of Federal Law No.261-FZ on Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency Enhancement and Amending Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation of November 23, 2011 relating to carrying out a mandatory energy inspection of JSC IDGC of the North-West were complied with.

Based on the results of the energy inspection, the energy passport of a consumer of fuel and energy resources of JSC IDGC of the North-West was registered in Self-Regulated Organization Non-Commercial Partnership Union of Energy Auditors and Energy Service Companies on December 13, 2012 under number No.NP-03-127.

The total number of inspected facilities was 1,620, including 1,142 electric grid facilities.

The total number of energy saving and energy efficiency enhancement measures developed was 7,315, including 5,901 energy loss reduction measures.

The energy saving and energy efficiency enhancement potential discovered was 184.54 thousand ton of reference fuel (RUB 1,315.92 million), including energy loss reduction measures 519.69 million kW/h (RUB 1,246.05 million).
