In particular, the business association requests the development of a mechanism for the FAS of Russia to review technical conditions for technological connection issued by electric grid organizations for their redundancy. This and other initiatives were adopted during a joint meeting of two subcommittees of Business Russia - the subcommittee on small-scale generation (headed by Maxim Zagornov, President of the Small-scale Power Association) and the subcommittee on modernization and increasing accessibility of energy infrastructure.
