The main growth in the volume of services rendered was due to increased consumption of metallurgical and chemical industry, agriculture, as well as rising power consumption of small and medium enterprises. Electricity losses were reduced from 9.53% to 9.16%, including through the performance of the functions a supplier of last resort and implementation of a program on energy conservation and energy efficiency.
