OREANDA-NEWS. The Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" received the progress report on the measures scheduled for 2006–2008 designed to ensure reliable electricity supply in the so-called "peak load areas" (PLAs).

RAO "UES of Russia" is paying special attention to the implementation of such programmes in the 16 energy systems located in the so-called "peak load areas".

The Board stated that the measures envisaged by the programmes for 2006 had been carried out in full, which is evidenced by the fact that 2006/2007 winter readiness certificates were issued to all energy companies working in the PLAs.

The Board of Directors instructed the Company's Management Board to continue the work seeking to arrange for signing agreements between RAO "UES of Russia" and regional administrations of the Russian Federation to develop and ensure the implementation of the five-year power supply reliability and sector development programmes.
