Economic Activity Safety Measures

Anti‑Terrorist and Anti‑Crime Protection

The Company’s anti‑terrorism policy is in full compliance with the requirements of Federal Law No. 256‑FZ dated 21 July 2011 “On the Safety of Fuel and Energy Facilities”, the requirements of the Russian Federation Government Resolution No. 993 dated 19 September 2015 “On Approval of Requirements for Ensuring Security of Line Facilities of the Fuel and Energy Complex” and consists in organising and carrying out measures aimed at strengthening engineering and technical and anti‑terrorist protection of the Company’s facilities.

The facilities of the Company were sufficiently shielded from acts of unauthorised interference thanks to the organisational and planning measures taken during the reporting period.

Steps were made to strengthen the facility’s defences against terrorism and sabotage, while also improving overall security given the operational environment.

These steps were completed with an eye towards developing new threats to power grid facilities and countermeasures against unfavourable outcomes.
