Igor Makovskiy, who previously headed Yantarenergo, will take up the duties of General Director of IDGC of Centre.
The Board of Directors of IDGC of Centre coordinated its appointment from 19 September 2018 to the position of the head of IDGC of Centre, at the moment who is also the sole executive body of IDGC of Centre and Volga Region (all companies are part of Rosseti Group).
IDGC of Centre and IDGC of Centre and Volga Region provide services for transmission and distribution of electricity, as well as connection to power grids in 20 regions of the Central and Volga Federal Districts.
In his new position, Igor Makovskiy was tasked with replicating the successful experience gained in the Kaliningrad region with regard to increasing the efficiency, reliability and quality of electricity supply for consumers of all categories, paying special attention to the implementation of Rosseti Group’s strategy to construct an intelligent grid complex in Russia by the end of 2030.
"Igor Makovskiy has 15 years of experience in the energy sector. He excellently showed himself as General Director of "Yantarenergo". Under his leadership, all the state tasks were performed flawlessly, starting with the construction of grid infrastructure necessary for commissioning of new generation facilities, finishing preparations for and carrying out the events of the 2018 World Cup. An unprecedented level of reliability of energy supply to consumers was achieved through the implementation of activities within the digital grid construction in the region. "Yantarenergo" became the first company in Rosseti Group, which fully completed the pilot project for the creation of the "Digital Distribution Zone" in two districts of the Kaliningrad region. Power engineers of Yantarenergo adequately coped with the work in the framework of the All-Russian exercises in the Republic of Dagestan and showed one of the best results among the subsidiaries of Rosset Group. Igor Makovskiy is responsible, initiative, focused on the result, and that in my opinion, it is especially important that he is not afraid of difficult tasks and ambitious challenges," Pavel Livinskiy, Director General of Rosseti, commented on the appointment.
The company "Yantarenergo" under the leadership of Igor Makovskiy for several years is the unchallenged leader in Rosseti Group for improving the reliability and quality of electricity supply to consumers of all categories. During this period, thanks to new approaches to the preparation and management of energy facilities of the grid infrastructure, regardless of the increase in the number of hazardous meteorological phenomena, the failure rate in the grids was reduced by more than 15 times. During the same period, SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index) and SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index) were improved as a whole by 2 times for the Kaliningrad region.
The implementation of advanced technologies both into the production process and into the management system allowed "Yantarenergo" to stabilize its financial position.
The effectiveness of the implemented set of measures by "Yantarenergo", headed by Igor Makovskiy, on the territory of the Kaliningrad region is so significant that it was decided to extend the experience throughout the territory of Russia.
Regional authorities have repeatedly noted the significant contribution of "Yantarenergo" and personally Igor Makovskiy to the creation of modern infrastructure in the Kaliningrad region and the developing the potential of the westernmost territory of the country.
"For the first time in many years, the power engineers of the Kaliningrad region are working ahead of their plans, contributing to the social and economic development of our entire region. A striking example is the construction of substations to provide power supply to industrial parks, as well as the "Beregovaya" substation constructed for the 2018 World Cup. Both the region and investors receive free electric power for promising projects. It can be seen that under the leadership of Igor Makovskiy, the Kaliningrad Region Government and "Yantarenergo" had one common goal: creating conditions for the development of the territory and the comfortable life of Kaliningraders," said Kaliningrad Region Governor Anton Alikhanov.
Today, IDGC of Centre and IDGC of Centre and Volga Region face a large-scale task of transitioning to the digital mode of operation, changes will affect all areas of the power grid complex, require non-standard thinking, fundamentally new solutions in planning and operation, and changes in the structure of the energy companies as well.
Igor Makovskiy possesses all the necessary qualities and experience for successful implementation of the set plans to increase the efficiency and reliability of electric grids in the regions of the Central and Volga Federal Districts.
