International partnership

PJSC IDGC OF SIBERIA, HEVEL GROUP OF COMPANIES AND THE FRENCH COMPANY SAFT SIGNED A MEMORANDUM OF COOPERATION AT THE SITE OF THE RUSSIAN ENERGY WEEK 2018 INTERNATIONAL FORUM.

As part of the agreements, a storage unit will be installed on the territory of Altay Republic to save electricity generated at solar capacity plants and to be transferred to consumers through the grid complex.

The first energy storage device with a capacity of 1 megawatt will be installed in the mountain Kosh-Agach village of Altay Republic where the largest solar capacity station with a capacity of 10 MW was built in Russia in 2014. In the next few years, thanks to the construction of new energy facilities by the Havel Group of Companies, the production of solar energy will increase to 140 MW with a peak consumption in the winter time of 110 MW. Surplus electricity will be saved using SAFT drives and sent to consumers through the networks of IDGC of Siberia, if necessary — for example, at night or during technological switching.

The implementation of a unique project will significantly improve the reliability of the region’s energy supply, eliminate energy shortages, and create new jobs. IDGC of Siberia plans to implement similar projects in the Zabaikalye Region and Republic of Buryatia where the number of sunny days per year (over 300) allows us to develop solar generation and thus solve the problem of reliable capacity supply to consumers.

Gorny Altay is one of the most ecologically clean regions in the country. Therefore, we have relied on solar generation, which we are actively developing together with capacity engineers. Back in 2006, we didn’t have our own generation at all, and after a few years we could forget what energy shortage is due to solar electricity, its accumulation and distribution across networks. This will increase the reliability of energy supply, as well as create new jobs in the region and increase the tax base.
Robert Paltaller First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Altai

Altay Region

There is a slight decline, both in the number of applications submitted, and in terms of the maximum capacity capacity planned for technological connection. This decrease is associated with an increase in control by PJSC IDGC of Siberia for the completeness and correctness of the information provided in applications for technological connection. The number of concluded contracts decreased accordingly. The decrease in the number of contracts executed in 2018 is mainly due to the lack of notifications of readiness for technological connection by the applicants. At the same time, there is an increase in capacity under the executed contracts, which is caused by the connection of larger consumers in comparison with 2017.

Republic of Altay

A significant increase in applications submitted and contracts concluded during 2018 indicates an increase in the investment attractiveness of the region. At the same time, the decrease in the maximum capacity value of the submitted applications shows a high demand for technological connection services among small and medium businesses with relatively large consumers. The increase in the number of concluded contracts indicates an increase in the population’s literacy in the preparation of a package of documents and a decrease in the number of rejected applications relative to 2017. Compared to 2017, the volume of executed contracts did not change significantly, the growth of the maximum capacity under executed contracts is due to the fulfillment by the applicants of their obligations under larger contracts for 2017.

Applications submitted – 3,370 pcs with maximal capacity 128,751 kW Changes as compared to 2017:

Regarding the indices of 2017, the changes in the region are insignificant, which indicates the steady demand for the technological connection service and the absence of sharp fluctuations in this area in terms of the number of applicants. At the same time, an increase in the maximum capacity of applications submitted and contracts concluded indicates an increase in energy-intensive industries in the region. A slight decrease in the number of executed contracts is due to the lack of requests from applicants for readiness for technological connection.

Applications submitted – 3,912 pcs with maximal capacity 277,896 kW Changes as compared to 2017:
  • Number of applications: +1% (+37 pcs)

Kemerovo Region

The growth in the number of applications filed and contracts concluded is due to a change in federal legislation due to the expansion at the legislative level of the preferential category of technological connection (up to 150 kW). This factor is due to a significant increase in the maximum capacity of the applications received. However, due to the smaller number of large applicants relative to 2017, the volume of capacity under the concluded contracts decreased. The increase in the number of executed contracts is due to the ongoing work on the elimination of overdue obligations under technological connection agreements. A number of organizational and administrative documents were issued, aimed at the most effective implementation of existing obligations on technological connection.

Applications submitted – 3,522 pcs with maximal capacity 528,955 kW Changes as compared to 2017:

Omsk Region

A slight decrease in the number of applications filed, concluded and executed contracts is due to the work being done to strengthen control over the completeness and accuracy of the information provided in applications for technological connection. A significant increase in maximum capacity caused by one-time applications of large consumers and is not systemic. The implementation of technological connection of large consumers is a long-term procedure and will be implemented in the following reporting periods. This explains the lack of growth of the maximum capacity value under the executed agreements on the implementation of technological connection in 2018.

Applications submitted – 4,309 pcs with maximal capacity 350,090 kW Changes as compared to 2017:

Increasing the region attractiveness on the Doing Business index

As part of the execution of the target model of simplifying business procedures and increasing the investment attractiveness of the constituent entities of the Russian FederationOrder of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 31, 2017 No. 147-p, PJSC IDGC of Siberia carried out the following measures

  1. A calculator was created for preliminary and control calculations directly on the corporate website of PJSC IDGC of Siberia of technological connection fees by type of rates and composition of measures in technical terms
  2. The possibility of signing a draft agreement in the "Personal Account" on the website of PJSC IDGC of Siberia by means of an electronic digital signature (EDS)
  3. The work has been organized to ensure the preparation and issuance to the applicant of the act on the implementation of technological connection and other documents related to technological connection, at the stage of actual supply of voltage to the applicant’s receiving capacity devices
  4. The system has been introduced for the procurement of construction (reconstruction) of capacity grids by the grid organization for the planned volumes of technological connection using framework agreements
  5. Work was carried out with the executive authorities of the regions located in the area of ​​presence of PJSC IDGC of Siberia, to issue a regulatory document providing for the elimination of the need to obtain permits for the construction of capacity grid facilities of voltage class up to 20 kW inclusive, required for technological connection (adopted in all regions of presence of PJSC IDGC of Siberia)
  6. At the regional level, commissions have been set up to coordinate projects for the construction of linear facilities, consisting of representatives of all owners of linear facilities in the area, and representatives of local governments

Payment for technological connection

Payment for technological connection services is carried out in accordance with the current legislation on the basis of the amount of fees approved by the authorized executive authorities in the field of state regulation of tariffs.

The cost of technological connection of capacity receiving devices with a maximum capacity of up to 15 kW does not exceed 550 rub. In 2018, the average rate for technological connection for the Company as a whole increased by 31% and amounted to 385 rub/kW.

The increase is due to the entry into force of the Guidelines for determining the amount of payment for technological connection to electric networks.

Dynamics of rate average per capacity unit, rub/kW

The increase in the rate is due to the change in the method of forming tariff rates. According to the Order of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia No. 1135/17bApproved by the order of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia dated August 29, 2017 No. 1135/17 (Methodical instructions No. 1135/17) dated August 29, 2017, when calculating tariff rates, data not only of PJSC IDGC of Siberia, but also of other local grid operators is taken into account. So, when calculating uniform standardized tariff rates and rates per unit of maximum capacity, data provided by all territorial grid organizations are taken into account.

From 2018, the rates of payment for technological connection according to Methodological Guidelines 1135 are set uniform for the whole network organizations by the method of comparing analogues based on the data provided by the network organizations on actual costs of technological connection for each of the last 3 years. Until 2018, the rates for technological connection were set on the basis of the planned expenses for each Network Organization sent by the Network organizations.
