In 2016, the Company introduced Energy Management Platform, an IT solution to manage business processes related to energy efficiency. The platform is designed to accelerate the development, approval, implementation, and roll-out of energy efficiency projects. It is also intended to facilitate the analysis of big data as well as processes pertaining to efficient energy consumption. The platform has helped handle innovative ideas more effectively by significantly reducing the time to implement and increase the share of energy efficiency innovations suggested.
In November 2016, the Energy Management Platform won the all-Russian competition of energy efficiency and energy saving projects ENES-2016 in the Effective Management System in Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency at Industrial Enterprise category. The ENES-2016 international forum on energy efficiency and energy saving is the main industry event focusing on development and implementation of energy efficient technologies and development of the energy sector. The forum was organised by the Russian Energy Ministry and the government of Moscow.
