Innovative Development Program

The purpose of the Innovative Development Program of the Company (hereinafter referred to as “the Program”) is a transition to electric grids of a new technological mode with qualitatively new characteristics of reliability, efficiency, accessibility, manageability and customer centricity of the power grid complex.

The objectives of the Program are:

  • achievement of the required levels of reliability, safety, quality, efficiency and accessibility of energy supply of customers by implementing new equipment, technologies and practices;
  • enhancement of the Company customer-oriented approach by improving the existing ones and creating new services including high-tech ones;
  • development, approbation and provision of conditions for serial implementation of innovative equipment and practices with account of comprehensive efficiency factors and on the basis of management principles of the life-cycle of objects and systems;
  • improvement of the system of interaction with the subjects of the sectoral innovative ecosystem, i.e. small and medium-sized businesses, universities, research organizations, the leading domestic and foreign equipment manufacturers etc.;
  • improvement of the innovation governance system and creation of the intellectual property management system;
  • improvement of the Company operating efficiency on a new technological and methodological base;
  • creation of personnel capacity with perspective competencies in order to ensure objectives of the Company innovative development;
  • creation of conditions for the development of perspective scientific research, technological work;
  • reduction of the negative impact of the power grid complex facilities on the environment.

In the reporting year the Company implemented the Program approved by the Board of Directors (Minutes No. 115/2011 of 7/29/2011 as amended on 6/18/2012, Minutes No. 137/2012).
