I’d like to thank the team for their focus on results, commitment and ability to find and implement effective solutions.
The Company has improved accessibility of the grid infrastructure and implemented dozens of measures to improve customer service. We also did a lot to consolidate grid assets. The Company invests heavily in the distribution network infrastructure.

We implemented a wide range of projects to increase liability and quality of electricity supply to consumers in the service area, developing the Urals grid sector in close collaboration with the authorities and businesses, fostering social and economic evolution of the Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk and Perm regions.
