The implementation of the power economy maintenance program met the schedule at an earlier date: over 12% of the planned financial assets, i.e. 347,089 mln rubles, were spent on the maintenance and reconstruction of 35-110kV distribution lines; over 6% (714,489 mln. Rubles) went to the reconstruction of 35-110kV substations. The company spent 1,498 mld rubles for the reconstruction of 0,4-10kV lines that is 4% over the plan. About 1,028 mld. rubles were spent for other power energy equipment.

In the distribution network companies of the IDGC service area over 17017 km of 35-110kV aerial lines were repaired and reached 112,3% to the plan, 65394,5 km of 0,4-10kV of aerial lines (10,46% to the plan). 2323 35-110Kv substations were repaired in 2006, more than 72 planned. Apart from successful implementation of the power economy maintenance program, the company planned to supply power and distribute power energy, implement innovative technologies in the power network complex, reduce electric losses, provide power energy quality by increasing the productive supply and providing safe operation of the technological process.

To improve work reliability in the power network complex year 2006 in JSC “IDGC of Center and North Caucasus” was announced “The year of aerial lines clearing”. The plan of 35-110kV lines clearing exceeded the target by 24% - 12913.57 ha were cleared. About 14457,54ha -130% of 6-10Kv aerial line cross-cuts were cleared. Regional network companies spent 280,2 mln rubles on this campaign.
The growth of the productive supply in the RNCs of the “IDGC of Center and North Caucasus” service area for 2005-2006 is 5,31 mld kWh or 3,77%. 

The actual losses in RNC networks for the 12 months compared to the same period in 2005 in IDGC were reduced by 0,83% or 957 mln kWh. The specific fault rate was reduced by 2,2%.

In 2006 the company focused on control management improvement. According to JSC “IDGC of Center and North Caucasus” instructions, NMCs were founded in all RNCs.

The innovative technologies were widely used in NMC activity. Certification of power energy took place in RNC of “IDGC of Center and North Caucasus” service area to provide power energy quality: the main substations to be certified were determined, plans and schedules of certification were prepared and agreed on with the certification authorities accredited by the Federal Agency of Technical Control and Metrology, and the Federal Service for Supervision of the Environment, Technology, and Nuclear Management. The certification tests were held in 2006 and all RNCs were certified.
