Today, all AO MOSENERGO's divisions received readiness certificates. The readiness certificate is issued by the General Inspectorate of the Regional Agency Tsentrenergotekhnadzor and attests to the high degree of the Company's preparation for the winter period.

The ceremony of the certificates distribution was held at AO MOSENERGO's Power Technicians Hall. The preparedness of the power system for winter operation was highly assessed by the Moscow and Moscow Region governments, as well as Gosstroy (the State Construction Committee), Igor Goryunov, chief engineer, said during the ceremony. During the maintenance campaign all power equipment of AO MOSENERGO was fully prepared for winter operations. AO MOSENERGO has timely created fuel reserves for heating season. As of November 1, total coal stocks at AO MOSENERGO's power stations exceeded requirements by 31%, fuel oil stocks – by 2%.

AO MOSENERGO thoroughly prepared heating and mechanical equipment at power stations for winter operation. Since the start of the year, AO MOSENERGO carried out maintenance on 12 power units, 30 boilers, 21 turbine generators and a number of other facilities. Before the end of the year, the Company plans to complete the maintenance on two more power units and four turbine generators.

AO MOSENERGO's heating grids have been also fully prepared for the cold season. During the maintenance campaign AO MOSENERGO carried out hydraulic and temperature tests on grid pipelines and eliminated all pipe damages (around 4,500). In addition, AO MOSENERGO replaced 80 km of worn-out heating main lines, having exceeded the plan by 8%.

To receive readiness certificates, AO MOSENERGO had to undergo a special check, confirming its readiness for winter season. From mid-September to late October, the special commission, which consisted of representatives from AO MOSENERGO, Mosgosenergonadzor, and Tsentrenergotekhnadzor, evaluated the technical condition of AO MOSENERGO's branches, as well as the efficiency of the equipment to be used in winter, the availability of fuel stocks, as well as the workers abilities to operate in conditions of possible emergencies.

The strict requirements of the certification process enable AO MOSENERGO to properly prepare for the winter load peak, thus guaranteeing the reliability of power supply for consumers.
