On August 12, a meeting of the federal headquarters for stabilizing the situation in the electric grid complex and ensuring reliable energy supply to consumers of the Republic of Dagestan was held in Makhachkala. The meeting was chaired by Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Sergey Nazarov and Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Petr Konyushenko.
The event was attended by First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Dagestan Manvel Mazhonts, Minister of Energy and Tariffs of the Republic of Dagestan Marat Shikhaliev, representatives of PJSC Rosseti, republican ministries and relevant departments.
The key topics were improving payment discipline, eliminating unauthorized connections, combating illegal mining, as well as measures to handle peak loads in the energy system during abnormal heat, as well as the results of the implementation of a “pilot” program for sustainable economic development of energy and housing and communal services enterprises.
"This year, in order to successfully implement the "pilot" program, the region needs to reach 90% in terms of collection for all utilities, as well as reduce losses in the networks. According to the results of the first half of the year, the lowest level of payment collection and the highest level of losses in the networks are still recorded in the electric power industry. I note that with the current level of payments for electricity (less than 70%) and losses in the electric networks at the level of 50%, PJSC Rosseti North Caucasus – Dagenergo actually has no sources for implementing measures to reconstruct and modernize the regional energy system. It is necessary to more actively interact with the population and business to increase the level of payments, and significantly improve the effectiveness of measures to identify facts of theft of electric energy," said Sergey Nazarov.
During the trip, the delegation also visited one of the key power supply centers of Makhachkala – the 110 kV "Novaya" substation, where power engineers installed an additional transformer with a capacity of 16 MVA and replaced 12 cable power lines to improve the reliability of power supply. Later, Sergey Nazarov took part in a working meeting with the Head of the Republic of Dagestan Sergey Melikov, which was also attended by Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Petr Konyushenko. The development of the region's electric grid complex and the implementation of a "pilot" program for sustainable economic development of energy and housing and communal services enterprises were discussed.
