OREANDA-NEWS. Amount of supply to the grid of JSC “MOESK” in 2013 increased by 1.49% in 2012 and amounted to 88,215 mn kWh. Amount of electricity productive supply increased by 2.02% to 80,133 mn kWh. Compared with the previous year, the “pool” (uniform tariffs-based) productive supply increased by 2.96% to 71,412 mn kWh.

Due to the unusually warm weather in November - December of 2013, the uniform tariffs-based productive supply was lower than the indicators included in the adjusted Business Plan for 2013 by 0.49%.

Electricity losses in the grids of JSC “MOESK” in 2013 decreased by 0.47 percentage points relative to 2012 and amounted to 9.16% of the supply to the grid. The reduction in electricity losses was achieved through the implementation of the energy efficiency program.

Grid connection

Volume of actually connected capacity for 2013 amounted to 1,531 MW (+7.74%). The increase in the connected capacity was due to Moscow mainly, where the figure rose to 401 MW (+16.23%), while in the Moscow Area the volume of actually connected capacity increased to 1,130 MW (+5.02%). The uneven dynamics of changes in the connected capacity volume is associated with the expansion of the territory of the city of Moscow due to “New Moscow”.

Following the results of the year 2013, the number of signed grid connection contracts increased by 88.98% to 70,877 pieces, while the increase in Moscow was 77.17%, and the increase in the Moscow Area was 90.74%.

Significant growth in the number of submitted applications for grid connection and, consequently, number of signed contracts and amount of connected capacity occurred largely due to a group of applicants with the connected maximum capacity of up to 150 kW inclusive (mostly individuals with the capacity of up to 15 kW). The increase was due to the growth of business activity in this group, primarily due to simplification of the grid connection process, implementation of the Road Map activities, for which reason the amount of actually connected capacity of JSC “MOESK” for 2013 exceeded the planned values of the Company by a third.
