A number of government decrees have been adopted that aim to improve the efficiency and transparency of interactions between energy companies, citizens, and organizations.

At the federal level, a basic standard for the quality of service to electricity consumers has been approved, and guaranteeing suppliers are required to develop and approve their own, expanded standards for the quality of service to consumers based on this standard.

All communication between the consumer and the guaranteed supplier will be centralized in their personal account. This account will allow them to notify about the need for a meter replacement, receive information about an upcoming inspection or verification of the meter, and learn the results of the work performed. If the consumer does not have a personal account, the guaranteed supplier is obligated to create one.

For all consumers with a connected capacity of up to 150 kW, application submission will be completely digital. This will reduce the amount of paperwork and application review time. Responsibilities will also be clearly delineated between the consumer, the guaranteed supplier, and the grid company to avoid disputes.

Another important change is the acceleration of power supply restoration. With a smart metering system, remote power restoration must now occur within one calendar day.

Issues of recalculations between electricity suppliers and grid organizations in the event of incorrect tariffs being applied or changes in the actual volume of electricity consumed have also been resolved.

"The decisions made are part of a systematic effort to digitalize and simplify processes in retail electricity markets, increasing the availability and reliability of energy supply for all categories of consumers," noted Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.

First Director: A new museum exhibition opened at the Polytechnic University to mark the 170th anniversary of Prince Andrei Gagarin.

December 22 (old style) marked the 170th anniversary of the birth of the first director of the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute, Prince Andrei Grigorievich Gagarin.

Andrei Grigorievich not only directed the Polytechnic Institute; he was also an outstanding scientist and inventor. One of his inventions, the Gagarin press, is the centerpiece of the new exhibition at the SPbPU History Museum, dedicated to the memory of one of the Polytechnic's founders and opened on his birthday.

"The anniversary of Andrei Grigorievich Gagarin, the first director of the Polytechnic University, is a very important event for us," said SPbPU Rector Andrei Rudskoy during the opening ceremony. "We honor history and today are taking another step toward perpetuating the memory of one of our great founders. We spent ten years restoring his family estate in Kholomki, and now it's a beautiful building with white columns, a ballroom, and a museum dedicated to the Gagarin family, with whom we maintain close ties."

After welcoming remarks, Andrei Rudskoy, together with Valery Klimov, director of the SPbPU History Museum, cut the green ribbon, and the first visitors entered the museum's new premises.

"Andrei Grigorievich Gagarin was not only the first director but also the chairman of the institute's construction committee. And, in fact, everything we see around us is also his achievement," said Valery Klimov. "170 years have passed, and everyone at the Polytechnic University knows who Prince Gagarin was, but there was no exhibition dedicated specifically to him. And now there is one. Andrei Grigorievich has made history for everyone, not just the Polytechnicians, as a mechanic thanks to this device, which everyone can now see. It's Gagarin's fully restored press, and everyone can now see it."

A. G. Gagarin's crushing press is a device for mechanically testing materials. Its purpose was to test samples for compression and tensile stress and record stress-strain curves. Andrei Grigorievich developed the press while working at the St. Petersburg Arsenal, and in 1896, he received a gold medal for it at the All-Russian Industrial Exhibition in Nizhny Novgorod.

Today, the Polytechnic University houses three Gagarin presses, two of which are housed in the Materials Strength Laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Building and used in teaching. The third press is now housed in a museum, making it available for public viewing. Digital technology also allows visitors to see how it operates.

In addition to the press, the new museum exhibition includes unique materials chronicling the life and work of the Polytechnic's first director. These include pre-revolutionary furniture from the Gagarin family apartment, personal belongings, portraits and photographs from the prince's family archive, laboratory equipment, and books from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

"I am grateful to Andrei Grigorievich's descendants for selflessly sharing with us the things he used," Andrei Rudskoy said, sharing his impressions of the exhibition. "When you understand the kind of person who sat in that chair, at that table, and wrote with that pen, you feel a sense of awe."

The exhibition features numerous interesting exhibits, including samples for testing metals for tension and bending, gas burners, glass from the analytical chemistry laboratory, samples of refractory products for foundry production from the metallurgical laboratory, and a collection of minerals donated to the SPbPU History Museum by the Educational and Historical Reserve "A. G. Gagarin's Estate "Kholomki".

The exhibition "Gagarin's Press" is located in the basement of the Main Building of SPbPU.

SPbGASU has proposed an innovative solution for improving the quality of concrete mixes at minimal cost.

Antonina Yudina, professor at the Department of Construction Technology at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, received patent No. 2852076, "Method for activating mixing water for a construction mixture."

The invention involves pre-treating water with an electric field from electrodes in a sealed container and then mixing it with dosed concrete mix components. The soluble electrode stack is made of aluminum plates, insulated from each other by a dielectric and connected to a power source. One electrode is connected to the positive pole (anode), the other to the negative pole (cathode). The electric field strength is 20–30 V/cm, and the water treatment lasts five to seven minutes.

The technical result is a reduction in energy consumption due to a shorter concrete curing time from casting to formwork removal, and an increase in formwork turnover due to a shorter isothermal heating time without excess cement consumption. Furthermore, the strength, frost resistance, and homogeneity of the concrete are increased.

When cement is mixed with water pre-treated with an electric field, a reaction occurs between calcium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide. This reaction results in the formation of calcium hydroaluminates and activation of the mixture. These aggregates (calcium hydroaluminates) serve as ready-made crystallization centers. These centers facilitate the rapid crystallization of new formations that precipitate from supersaturated solutions during the interaction of the binder with water. This process accelerates the hardening of binders.

The results were confirmed by laboratory tests. A 21% increase in strength was observed after seven days of curing. Cement consumption per cubic meter of concrete mix was reduced by 10, 15, and 20%, while water consumption remained constant, but the water-cement ratio increased.
