The possibility of redistribution of the unused reserve capacities is presupposed by the abovementioned Resolution of the Government of Russia. The document which was signed today is also targeted at development of energy efficient, power saving and ecologically clean technologies that are applied both in distributing network complex and by small and medium businesses.
At the time being small and medium enterprises of Russia often utilize highly technological power saving equipment which allows to reduce expenses for power considerably. Such kinds of products include, in particular, power saving lamps and efficient heating equipment. When the consumers use technologies for saving power it presents an advantage not only for the consumers but also to the power networking companies as this lets them to reduce capital expenditures for construction of new power objects and optimally distribute capacities.

Small-sized contractors can provide the distributing network companies with the competitive financial conditions and comparable quality services due to lower managerial expenses than in large subcontracting organizations.
