At the words of Î. Makarova, in spite of all the difficulties which the company came across in 2009 in terms of crisis, as a whole the results of the work demonstrate its financial stability in the reporting period. So the rating of the financial state of IDGC of the North-West has increased from Ñ1 as of the beginning of 2009 to B2 as of the end of the year. The solvency rating became weightier having risen from category B to category À.

The main objective which is faced by the companies of IDGC Holding in 2010 is to prepare and transmit to the new system of tariff regulation – RAB. This task was assigned by Nicolay Shvets. The joint efforts of the representatives of all the power entities will be needed for it but first of all grid companies must convince local authorities in appropriateness and efficiency of new approaches to the regulation. 

– Only transmission to RAB will make it possible for us to make reconstruction, to re-equip worn grid assets, construct new power facilities at the expense of attraction of serious investments which we obviously lack today. We are to make many things together in this trend – said chief of IDGC Holding summing up the meeting’s results.
