In the MES branches and EA according to
the draft MPE and MPD standards the sources
of hazardous substances emissions, both
operational and occasional, are determined as
well as the total volume of waste from operational
(stationary) sources (repair workshops,
accumulator and welding stations, etc.).
Air emissions from the branches’ activity
were 54.3t/year in 2009 including 1.6t of NOõ,
4.9t of SOõ and 15.5t of ÑOõ. Air impact is
assessed as insignificant. According to programs
for operational environmental control
and monitoring, the specialist organizations
conduct air, water resources and drainage
monitoring using laboratory and computational
methods.
The Company’s energy consumption is
comprised of two components: technological
consumption (losses) for transmission
which accounts for the lion’s share of energy
consumption; and consumption for the needs
of the economy.
From the point of view of energy saving,
the maximum effect comes from activities
aimed at reducing electricity technological
consumption for transmission via electricity
networks, and by bringing the actual value of
technical electricity losses to their optimum
level.
Every year the MES branches prepare an
action plan for reducing losses, directed at
the detection of points of electricity loss and
taking measures towards their reduction.
Based on the 2009 results according to
activities performed on losses reduction
KEGOC has over-achieved the plan by 20.7%
or 1.7 mln kWh, i.e. the effect of performing
technical activities on reducing electricity consumption
for its transmission in the KEGOC
electricity networks for 2009 made 9.9985 mln
kWh.
In accordance with the Regulations on
Risk Management in the KEGOC JSC the
equipment environmental safety is monitored.
MES Branches prepare topics and conduct
emergency response training on environmental
protection (reacting in cases of oil spills,
emergency leaks and transformer oil burning
at oil-filled equipment, accumulator acid spillage,
OHTL tripping due to mechanical damage
(fracture) of post insulator with creeping
fire from falling loop flash, mercury-containing
lamps, etc.).
Carrying out environmental activities
reduces risk situations and prevents causing
harm to the lives and health of personnel and
the environment. Environmental protection
