First Deputy General Director - Chief Engineer of IDGC of Centre Alexander Pilyugin April 28 took part in the organized by the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation All-Russian Conference "Results of operation through the autumn-winter period of 2014/15 by electric power industry entities". The event was held under the leadership of the Ministry of Energy Alexander Novak, participants were representatives of the Government of the Russian Federation and the Federation Council, heads of regions, heads of the largest companies in the energy sector of the country.

The meeting discussed the projected figures of generation and consumption of electricity in the past heating season, issues of ensuring reliable fuel supply for the power industry and formation of statutory reserves of fuel at generation facilities, performance of repair programs by electricity industry entities, organization of monitoring the technical condition of electric power facilities, problematic issues related to the autumn-winter operation period and ways to solve them.

IDGC of Centre reliably worked in the autumn-winter period of 2014/2015. The company entered the top five SACs of JSC "Russian Grids", which showed during the peak season the best results to reduce the failure rate. This result was largely achieved due to the fact that IDGC of Centre did not allow reduction of targets of the repair program in 2014 - one of the most important components of the preparation for the winter. And successful operation of personnel of first responding and restoration crews of IDGC of Centre regarding the operational liquidation of technological violations was cited as an example at the enlarged production meeting of JSC "Russian Grids", which was also devoted to the outcome of the autumn-winter peak loads operation.

"The autumn-winter period of 2014-2015 proved once again that the key to trouble-free operation of winter peak demand is quality preparation, execution of all planned activities, strict compliance with current regulatory and technical documentation, readiness for emergency situations and the unity of power systems. During that time in the service area of IDGC of Centre there was no single serious technological violation. The overall failure rate decreased significantly compared to previous years of the autumn-winter operation period, experts of the company also managed to reduce the average time of restoration of power supply to consumers," stressed First Deputy General Director - Chief Engineer of IDGC of Centre Alexander Pilyugin.
