Rosseti acts in this case as an expert with the necessary expertise to work out technological issues related to the actualization of integrated development programs of electric networks.

Shared Service Centre receiving payments in the territory of the North Caucasian Federal District should solve this problem while providing reliable customers todiscounts. This Centre will also significantly simplify the procedure of collecting the documents to connect to power grid,' Rosseti’s General Director said.
