In 2014, due to the implementation of the energy saving Program losses were lowered by 4% to productive supply in the grid in comparable conditions. For comparison, in 2013 and 2012 the indictor dropped by 2.5%. In terms of money, savings for the Company in 2014 totaled RUB 964 mln, exceeding the economic effect of 2013 by RUB 212 mln, or 28%.

The year-on-year decrease in productive supply by 3% was due to the cancellation in 2014 of the so-called “last mile” mechanism on the territory of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, and the transition of some consumers to direct contracts with FGC UES. In 2014, productive supply was up by 487 mln kWh compared to 2013 in comparable conditions (including consumers of the so-called “last mile”).
