• the fee for a negative impact on the environment was paid in full and in due time;
• 30 KRUN 6–10 kV cells with oil circuit breakers were replaced with environmentally safer cells with vacuum circuit breakers;
• 4.74 tons of decommissioned used CS1 and CS2 type capacitors (extremely hazardous waste containing trichlordiphenyl) were transferred for disposal to JSC Kuprit (Kirov);
• 141 units of vehicles and machinery were replaced, upon expiry of their rated service life, with new vehicles meeting EURO-3 standards;
• construction of a treatment plant was completed and it was put into operation ensuring reduction in discharges of pollutants entering water body (the Pauk River);
• repairs of the emergency transformer oil collection and removal system (suction pipes, oil drains and sumps) was performed at 183 substations, including to ensure environmental safety of grid facilities;
• The sound shield of 110 kV T-1 power transformer was installed at 110/35/10 kV Anapskaya substation reducing the level of sound pressure on atmospheric air to the normative value and ensuring safety of the environment and human health;

Length of sections of 04–10 kV overhead lines where in 2016 works were performed with the use of self-supporting insulated wire, amounts to 0.963 thou km.

Moreover, 240 bird protection devices of anti-perching type were installed on 110 kV Belorechenskaya HPP-Martanskaya OHL (90 pcs.), 110 kV Belorechenskaya HPP-DM8 OHL (90 pcs.), 110 kV Centralnaya - Apsheronskaya OHL (60 pcs).

The Company annually participates in spring event of cleaning and gardening of territories of municipal entities of the Krasnodar Krai and the Republic of Adygea controlled by the Company.
