Despite external challenges, the power engineers have maintained positive dynamics in basic production indicators over the past five years. Thus, the average duration of power supply interruptions in grids was reduced by 27.2% compared to the same period in 2018, and the projected level of electricity losses in grids of the same voltage class by the end of the year will decrease by 3.2 percentage points.

Thus, revenue from non-tariff activities will reach record levels by the end of the year, and growth for the period 2018-2023 will be 282%, that is, more than 3 times. The result of this approach is the recording of labour productivity growth.
