OREANDA-NEWS. An All-Russia meeting of General Directors of RAO UES companies has started today to discuss the results of the autumn-winter period of 2006-2007.

The Meeting is attended by top managers of about 200 RAO UES subsidiaries: electric power generation (WGCs and TGCs), distribution (FGC, interregional and regional distribution companies), sales, and other RAO UES companies.

During the autumn-winter period of 2006-2007, energy companies of RAO "UES of Russia" were able to ensure reliable and uninterrupted power supply.

The Holding's power plants generated 385 billion kWh of electricity in October 2006 through March 2007. This figure is comparable with that of the 2005-2006 winter (386 billion kWh), despite the fact that the winter just ended was extremely warm, and the 2005-2006 winter was abnormally cold.

Despite the warmer weather last winter, electricity consumption across Russia reached 534.5 billion kWh, up 1.3 percent compared to the winter of 2005-06.
