Rosseti will talk about managing
the Russian power grid in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the shaping
of a new economic reality as part of the SPIEF 2021 business programme. A
number of agreements aimed at improving the efficiency and technological development
of the industry is planned to be signed at the Forum. In addition, the company
will ensure reliable power supply to the Forum venue.
Rosseti was among the first Russian corporations to implement a set of
measures to counter the spread of the coronavirus in March 2020. Despite
continuous production, at the peak of the pandemic as many employees as
possible and 100% of customer service centres switched to remote work. At the
same time, Rosseti ensures the reliability and quality of electricity supply
services, implemented measures ahead of schedule to prepare for the peak load
period in autumn and winter, and continued to implement investment programme
projects worth RUB 283.3 billion total.
At the SPIEF 2021 panel session entitled Challenges and Opportunities
for the Global Power Sector in a New Era, Rosseti CEO Andrey Ryumin will share
the companys performance during the pandemic, as well as its short-term tasks
and strategic priorities. At the exhibition, Rosseti will present its key
facilities in the regions where it operates.
Rosseti is also implementing a set of measures to improve power supply
reliability and ensure the anti-terrorist protection of its power facilities
during SPIEF 2021 and preparation for it. About 600 people and 150 vehicles and
special equipment will be involved in the intensified operation scheme.
Diesel generator units and uninterruptible power sources will be provided to
create a reserve. Power supply schemes for the citys transport infrastructure,
key attractions, and residences of official delegations are being prepared.
In order to coordinate efforts of St. Petersburg organizations and
agencies and ensure a reliable power supply to the Forum, SPIEF 2021 Situation
and Analysis Centre will operate round the clock through the support from
Rosseti (from 31 May to 6 June 2021).
«Rosseti is a Strategic Partner
of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. Its scope includes design,
construction, wiring, equipment supply, and operation of temporary power grid
at SPIEF 2021 venues. Being an active participant of the Forum business
programme, Rosseti will present its performance record during the pandemic. The
company has transformed its business processes in a smart and timely fashion,
which helped it keep its efficiency stable during this difficult time,» noted
Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of the Russian Federation and
Executive Secretary of the SPIEF Organizing Committee.
«The COVID-19 pandemic has stress tested the parts of the infrastructure
the whole countrys economy relies on. Rosseti managed to overcome the
fact-based difficulties, ensured a reliable power supply to consumers, and
retained a high growth rate. Now, we are facing challenges related to the
restoring of the economy and new ambitious tasks, as well as potential
additional growth points. We hope that SPIEF 2021 will help us check ourselves
against our colleagues and find
answers to the relevant questions on the energy industry agenda,» said CEO of
Rosseti Andrey Ryumin.
