To date, a full range of measures has been implemented in the operational-technological management unit to increase the staff safety. The mode of restricting access to control centres has been introduced; access to being at the grid control panel is provided only for duty shift dispatchers. At the same time, measures are being taken to increase the volume of observability and equipment management using modern technological digital developments.
