Putin signed a law on the digitalization of the electric power industry. Main provisions
On July 15, 2024, the President Russia Vladimir Putin signed a law on system-forming territorial network organizations (STSO) and the introduction of automatic remote control of the operating modes of electric power facilities. We are talking, in particular, about the digitalization of the electric power industry.
The document provides for the creation of STSOs in each Russian region: such structures will act as a single center that ensures the reliable functioning of power grid facilities within the area of responsibility. In fact, STSOs will operate in one-stop shop mode for consumers and energy sales organizations, as well as operate ownerless power grid facilities and eliminate large-scale accidents on networks of other territorial network organizations (TSOs) by decision of regional headquarters to ensure power supply safety.
The law provides for the digitalization of the electric power industry in several areas. This is the creation and introduction of digital information models, as well as the introduction of intelligent control systems. In addition, it is planned to switch to remote control of technological modes and the operational state of power grid facilities from dispatch centers.
A digital information model refers to a set of mutually related information about an electric power facility presented in a unified electronic machine-readable form, which unambiguously identify and describe it and the equipment and devices included in it, as well as the connections between them. It is assumed that the implementation of such models will improve management efficiency, help optimize the electric power infrastructure, and also provide a number of other advantages. The use of digital information models of electric power facilities can help in organizing and carrying out preventive and repair work.
The government and the Ministry of Energy of Russia are empowered to approve the rules for the formation, maintenance and procedure for disclosing digital information models of electric power facilities. At the same time, the system operator is obliged to carry out, including for promising periods, the formation and maintenance of digital information models of electric power systems. The document also states that the subjects of the electric power industry and consumers of electric energy, who own, on the right of ownership or other legal basis, objects for the production of electric energy and (or) objects of the electric grid economy, can generate and maintain digital information models of such objects. And in cases established by the government, the formation, maintenance and use of these models are mandatory for such subjects of the electric power industry.
Remote control means are software, software, hardware and other technical tools that provide the possibility of changing the technological modes of operation and (or) the operational state of power lines, equipment and devices of electric power facilities and power receiving installations. Moreover, such changes should be carried out directly from the dispatch centers of the subject of operational dispatch control in the electric power industry or from other remote automated workplaces, terminals, from control centers by transmitting technological information and implementing control commands.[1]

How artificial intelligence is used in the Russian power
As of mid-2024, more than 40% of energy companies in Russia use algorithms based on artificial intelligence in their work, and another 34% of enterprises plan to introduce such technologies. AI helps to optimize a variety of processes - from the production and distribution of energy to its consumption and accounting. This is stated in the materials of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, published at the end of June 2024.
According to the Deputy Minister of power of the Russian Federation Eduard Sheremettsev, AI tools have great potential in terms of application in the power. In particular, AI algorithms are able to predict the level of load of power grids to optimize power supply, analyze large amounts of data on the geological structure of deposits, and improve drilling and production processes. At the same time, the use of AI in power plants contributes to the transition to the repair of objects according to technical condition instead of traditional scheduled maintenance. To do this, solutions are being introduced in the field of intelligent diagnostics and predictive analysis using neural networks. Predictive maintenance helps identify potential hardware failures in the power infrastructure in advance, reducing downtime and costs.
Sheremettsev stressed that the fuel and energy complex (fuel and energy complex) ranks third among the Russian sectors of the economy in the introduction of artificial intelligence. According to him, the Ministry of Energy is designing the Power domain, within the framework of which services are being developed for the digitalization of the fuel and energy complex.
 | The main effects of the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies and a domain approach are a multiple increase in the speed of providing various services for our citizens, as well as saving resources for business, the deputy minister notes. |  |
In thermal power plants, AI technologies help optimize the control of the fuel combustion process. The collected data is processed using algorithms based on self-learning neural networks - this allows you to make forecasts and control the technical process in real time. AI also contributes to more efficient integration of renewable energy sources - primarily solar and wind power plants. Neural networks are able to predict weather conditions and appropriately manage energy production. Such technologies are used, for example, by the "System Operator of the Unified Energy System." Platform "Prediction of renewable energy generation. The Sun "calculates electricity generation at 64 solar power plants.
When transmitting, distributing and selling electricity, AI systems allow you to increase reliability and improve the controllability of power grids. It is possible to identify metering devices that transmit false readings, and detect sections of the network with unauthorized connections. Plus, neural networks help predict the demand and price situation when purchasing electricity in the wholesale market.
Eduard Sheremettsev also touched upon the standardization of the use of artificial intelligence in the fuel and energy complex. According to him, the Ministry of Energy supports the establishment of boundaries for the use of AI algorithms in the power, but opposes "strict regulation of emerging technology." The deputy head of the department also said that the work of the industrial competence centers Neftegaz, Petrochemistry and Subsoil Use and Electric Power, which collectively implement about 40 projects in the field of import substitution of industrial software, contributes to the growth in the popularity of domestic IT solutions in the fuel and energy complex.[2]
The volume of the domestic software market for the electric power industry in Russia reached 42 billion rubles
The volume of the domestic software market for the electric power industry in Russia reached 42 billion rubles. This assessment was announced on May 21, 2024 by the general director of Rosseti, the head of the industrial competence center (ICC) "Electric Power" Andrei Ryumin.
According to him, coverage with domestic software in the ICK landscape was 77%, and among the most critical systems in the power, the degree of penetration of domestic software solutions reached 85%.
According to Vedomosti, in addition to Rosseti, such large energy companies as RusHydro and Rosenergoatom have a high level of IT import substitution. The publication also notes that business process management tools have become the leading segments in terms of coverage among corporate governance systems and office software: in this category, import substitution in the power has reached 100%.
According to Andrei Ryumin, the main problems in the transition of power to Russian IT solutions are difficulties with financing projects for tariff-regulated participants, a shortage of highly qualified specialists and the preservation of disparate automation.
| | We will solve this problem of "patchwork" automation, when we switch not only to domestic systems, but also make them unified, - said the head of Rosseti. | |
On May 21, 2024, he also cited data according to which eight projects with a total value of 12 billion rubles are being implemented within the framework of the industrial competence center "Electric Power Industry." The work has already been completed on two tasks.
The portfolio of IC "Electric Power Engineering" includes projects in the field of predictive analytics, the development of billing systems, digital twins, software systems for managing production assets.[3]
Import substitution of software at TPPs with imported turbines threatens accidents
On April 10, 2024, it became known that industry regulators are expressing concern about the rapid transfer of thermal power plants (TPPs) with foreign turbines to Russian software. In their opinion, the accelerated process of import substitution of software in this area can result in emergency situations and failures.
According to the Kommersant newspaper, the System Operator of the Unified Energy System (SO UES) speaks of possible problems in connection with a sharp transition to domestic software. The organization fears that the transfer of foreign turbines to domestic software may negatively affect the operation of equipment. Moreover, the nature of failures can be very different - from a decrease in the speed of power gain to a deterioration in the operation of emergency automation.
Industry participants say that the most acute issue is the replacement of automatic regulation systems (ATS) of imported turbines. Such tools are responsible for controlling the operating modes of the plant in accordance with the current load. In this case, dozens of parameters are monitored - primarily the rotor speed, blade temperature, oil pressure, etc. Failure of critical parameters beyond acceptable limits can lead to serious breakdowns and prolonged downtime.
Therefore, the UES CO proposes to carry out import substitution of ECS gradually and subject to thorough tests. The regulator asked the general company to provide plans for repairs and replacement of software. This information is necessary "to ensure sufficient generating capacity in order to reliably supply power to consumers." It is proposed to replace the software with Russian software simultaneously with other repair work or scheduled maintenance, which will minimize the downtime of the equipment. As of April 2024, more than 250 gas turbines of Siemens, General Electric, Alstom and other foreign manufacturers were installed in Russia, the service of which was stopped due to sanctions.[4]
Mishustin approved the strategy for the digital transformation of the fuel and energy complex until 2030
On March 15, 2024, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin approved a strategy for the digital transformation of the fuel and energy complex (fuel and energy complex) until 2030. The main goals of the program are the achievement of a high level of digital maturity of the main participants in the industry, the accelerated transition of the Russian energy sector to new managerial and technological levels, and the creation of conditions for long-term development.
The digital transformation of the fuel and energy complex is planned to be carried out on the basis of domestic information and communication technologies, including "end-to-end" digital solutions. It is envisaged to build common information models and introduce uniform standards for data exchange. The strategy is designed to provide conditions for achieving technological sovereignty in the fuel and energy complex, in particular, through import substitution. Among the key tasks are:
- Creation of a digital ecosystem for the purpose of optimizing the processes of collection, processing and use of production and technological data;
- Ensuring consolidation of domestic organizations of the fuel and energy complex in order to form an industry order in the field of "end-to-end" digital technologies, prioritization of research and development, transfer of technologies and prevention of duplication of costs for the development of identical solutions;
- Design of the target architecture of the fuel and energy complex domain on the GosTech platform;
- Creation of an infrastructure platform for the power grid complex to solve problems at all levels of management with the necessary information security indicators;
- Application of cloud technologies;
- Complete exclusion of the use of software of foreign origin on significant objects of critical information infrastructure;
- Improving the level of information security in the fuel and energy complex organizations;
- Development of sectoral educational programs.
In addition, the strategy provides for the introduction of artificial intelligence technologies. To do this, the quality and availability of data sets that can be used in training AI algorithms will be increased. It is also planned to actively use information modeling tools.
The document defines the main prospects for the development of the fuel and energy complex in Russia, taking into account the possibilities of digital transformation until 2030. This is, in particular, an increase in oil and gas recovery through the use of "end-to-end" digital solutions, reducing production costs and improving resource efficiency. A reduction in uncertified (counterfeit) products is expected due to the ability to track supply chains. The strategy will help in reducing accidents and anthropogenic impact, as well as in extending the life of the equipment. The introduction of new digital services will help optimize the business processes of industry participants and government bodies related to the provision of services and energy sales activities.
The strategy involves the use of digital systems that allow you to balance energy consumption: the result will be an increase in the reliability of the operation of energy facilities and a decrease in the cost of repair work. The industry will transition to management based on high-quality, up-to-date and reliable data. The use of more effective monitoring tools will make it possible to switch from unscheduled (after failure) and scheduled repairs to a maintenance scheme according to technical condition. It is planned to integrate the fuel and energy complex organizations with the branch of science and higher education, as well as the introduction of new solutions for tracking logistics and trade operations.
Government of the Russian Federation Order of March 12, 2024 No. 581-r
2023: The share of domestic software in the procurement of energy companies in Russia for 3 years increased from 60% to 80%
From 2020 to the beginning of 2023, the share of Russian software in software purchases by enterprises in the resource supply sector increased from 60% to 80%. Such data are given in a study prepared by analysts of Rusatom Infrastructure Solutions JSC (RIR) and published in May 2023.
In recent years, according to experts, Russian energy companies and housing and communal services enterprises in the past two years have begun to use domestic software solutions even more actively to digitalize their activities. Accordingly, the share of Western solutions is rapidly declining. The trend is due to state measures to achieve technological sovereignty, as well as stimulating the use of products of Russian programmers against the background of the ongoing digital transformation of the industry, according to the RIR.
According to experts, the costs of heat supply enterprises for IT and, in general, digital projects (both initial implementation and support, modernization) in 2022 amounted to about 20 billion rubles. By 2030, the costs of such projects can grow to 50 billion rubles, researchers predict.
They also expect an increase in the need for digital solutions from the heat and power sector. Especially in the context of the growth of funds allocated for the modernization of heating systems. Digital solutions can significantly increase the efficiency of the energy company by improving dispatching, preventing accidents, and increasing labor productivity.
| | Having even reduced the number of accidents and defects by 500 km of heating networks by 1%, enterprises save up to 100-150 million rubles a year on repairs. It is possible to achieve such a result in practice, including through the use of digital solutions. They help to increase efficiency, reduce losses and eliminate unnecessary costs, - said Alexey Tsyplov, head of the digitalization department of RIR production.[5] | |

The Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation has allocated 11 priorities for import substitution of software in the oil and gas industry
The Competence Center for the Technological Development of the Fuel and Energy Complex (Fuel and Energy Complex) of the Ministry of Energy has formed a list of the 11 most priority areas for import substitution of specialized software in the oil and gas industry. TAdviser was informed about this by the department on April 30, 2020. The list was formed based on the results of consultations with oil and gas and oilfield service companies and was compiled on the basis of an integral indicator, which includes such criteria as the presence of analogues, the volume of purchases, and the share of foreign software.
The list includes software from the following areas:
- 3D geological modeling software;
- Seismic interpretation software
- Geophysical interpretation software;
- Software for automated drilling rig control systems (OBU ACS) 2.0;
- Software for calculation of pipeline systems, modeling of single-phase and multiphase flows;
- Software for business modeling and planning of oil refining processes, as well as distribution of petroleum products (scheduling);
- Process control and dispatching systems (CMS);
- Automated Operational Transportation Management Systems (APMCS) for oil and gas processing;
- Platform for building an automated operational dispatch control system (ASODU);
- Production management software platform based on integrated simulation of the reservoir-well-gathering-reservoir pressure maintenance system;
- Open geological and geophysical software platform based on the principles of open architecture.
The development of this list was carried out by the Competence Center for Technological Development of the Fuel and Energy Complex as part of the development of a roadmap for state support for the digital transformation of the oil and gas industry, which is engaged in the working group "Digital Transformation of the Oil and Gas Industry." The purpose of the document is to eliminate regulatory and technological barriers that prevent the effect of the introduction of digital technologies in this industry. The Working Group is developing proposals on three areas of the road map:
- import substitution of software;
- deserted technologies;
- state control and services.
The Ministry of Energy told TAdviser that due to the circumstances that have developed due to the epidemic of coronavirus infection, the deadline for submitting final proposals to the roadmap has been extended until the fall of 2020.
| | However, as of April 2020, a large amount of work has already been done, preliminary measures have been formed, which will be finalized and coordinated, the department added. | |
As part of the direction of deserted technologies, the Digital Transformation of the Oil and Gas Industry working group in the 1 quarter of 2020 conducted an analysis and formed scenarios for the promising use of robotics, taking into account market benchmarking. Based on the industry proposals received, the group developed 115 relevant scenarios for development, and also consolidated industry proposals for the organization of landfills for the development of deserted technologies in the oil and gas industry.
In addition, as of early May, Gazprom Neft is still collecting and processing industry proposals and needs for the development of artificial intelligence technologies in the oil and gas industry to integrate them into the federal project "Artificial Intelligence."
In the course of work on the direction of state control and services, the working group analyzed the state of digital transformation of data and services in specialized government agencies. This analysis formed the basis for the transformation map of the government data management system in the oil and gas industry. Such a transformation is necessary to improve the quality of government planning and reduce the transaction costs of the oil and gas industry. It involves the implementation of the following priority initiatives:
- Reform the geological information collection, storage, and processing system to transition to "big data" management of the oil and gas industry;
- formation of a single industry order for the creation of digital core storage facilities;
- creation of an "oil and gas MPSC" - a "single window" to provide operational public services and services in the oil and gas industry, as well as a single consolidated collection of information data for the state in case of operational requests;
- creation of a system for monitoring the provided tax incentives and forecasting the development of the oil and gas industry;
- transition to digital state examination of reserves and design solutions.
Russian oil and gas companies took care of replacing imported software shortly after the spread of American and European sanctions to Russia in 2014, even before import substitution took the form of a formalized state policy. Major market players, such as Rosneft and Gazprom Neft, began to develop their own software products that would ensure independence from foreign software developers in key processes. So, for example, Rosneft is focused primarily on replacing foreign software related to the exploration and production of hydrocarbons. By 2025, in this area, the company plans to completely replace third-party software with its own developments.
Daniil Sorokin appointed Director of the Department of Information Support and Digital Transformation of the Fuel and Energy Complex
On April 20, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak appointed Daniil Sorokin as director of the information support and digital transformation department of the fuel and energy complex of the Ministry of Energy, according to the agency's website. Read more here.
Creation of concepts of digital transformation of fuel and energy complex
The Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation creates two concepts of digital transformation of the fuel and energy complex (fuel and energy complex) of Russia: for the medium-term - 2024, and the long-term - until 2035, periods. Representatives of the scientific and expert community also take part in their development. The Council for the Digital Transformation of the Fuel and Energy Complex Industries, formed by the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation, will have to approve the documents in 2020. TAdviser was informed about this on February 5, 2020 in the ministry.
As explained by TAdviser in the Ministry of Energy, the purpose of the concepts is to determine a consolidated vision of the target state of the fuel and energy sectors in the process of digital transformation. In accordance with this goal, the documents will describe various scenarios and forecasts for the development of digital technologies in the fuel and energy complex and priority areas for digital transformation, which will lay the foundation for a single information and technological space.
Council for Digital Transformation of the Fuel and Energy Complex Industries
The Council for the Digital Transformation of the Fuel and Energy Complex Industries, responsible for the emergence of concepts, was created by the Ministry of Energy on October 31, 2019. It is a key element of the coordination and monitoring system for the digital transformation of the fuel and energy complex of Russia, the formation of which the ministry began in 2019. The purpose of this system is to create conditions for the implementation of the departmental project "Digital power," informed TAdviser in the Ministry of Energy.
The purpose of the Council for Digital Transformation of the Fuel and Energy Complex Industries, as noted in the ministry, is to create conditions for the development, implementation and application of digital technologies in the industry and the formation of a consolidated position and key decisions on the main issues of its digital transformation. The Council is headed by the Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak.
The council may include other organizations from the fuel and energy complex and related industries, as well as development institutions dealing with the digital transformation of power, told TAdvier in the Ministry of Energy.
To solve organizational issues of the council, the ministry creates a project office for the digital transformation of the fuel and energy complex. In addition, a number of working groups have been formed within the council to work in various areas. As the department informed, the industry competence centers in the oil and gas complex, the coal industry and the electric power industry are closely connected with their activities.
Oil and Gas Competence Center
The role of the competence center in the oil and gas industry is played by the working group "Digital Transformation of the Oil and Gas Industry," formed by the Ministry of Energy in 2019. The co-head of this group from the state is Deputy Minister of Energy Pavel Sorokin, from business - Director for Digital Transformation of Gazprom Neft Andrei Belevtsev.
As of February 5, 2020, there are 28 participants in the working group. These are representatives of the Ministry of Energy, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Ministry of Communications, Rosgeolfond, the State Commission on Mineral Reserves, REA, ВЭБ.РФ, ANO Digital Economy, Vybon Consulting. The working group also includes representatives of oil and gas companies: Gazprom, Gazprom Neft, Rosneft, Tatneft, Surgutneftegaz, Zarubezhneft, Lukoil, Sibur, Novatek, Rusgazdobycha. The composition of the working group, as noted in the Ministry of Energy, can be expanded.
According to preliminary estimates, the effect of the implementation of the measures developed by the working group on the oil and gas industry by 2035 may amount to 200-280 billion rubles a year, of which 150-200 billion rubles will fall on the exploration and production segment, 30-50 billion rubles - on oil refining, 20-30 billion rubles - on logistics, noted in the Ministry of Energy.
Key tasks for the team are:
- definition of the target vision of the digital transformation of the oil and gas complex, critical technological solutions and the possibility of replication of pilot projects;
- assessment of the best practices for the development and implementation of digital technologies in the industry, potential effects and costs of digitalization;
- preparation of proposals for adjustment of the regulatory and legal framework;
- preparation of proposals for detailing the activities of the project of the Ministry of Energy "Digital power."
By February 5, 2020, the working group has already implemented a number of initiatives.
Among them are such as:
- formation of the target image of the future oil and gas industry for the period up to 2024 and 2035, which defines about 20 key estimates of the effects of digital transformation;
| | Thus, thanks to the application of the best practices for the development and implementation of digital technologies by 2035, it is expected to reduce exploration and production costs by 10-15% for comparable categories of reserves, as well as reduce the time for commissioning new large projects by 40%. Particular attention is paid to improving the quality of government services, for example, state expertise of reserves and design solutions, as well as the transition to electronic document management, - told TAdviser in the Ministry of Energy. | |
- identification of administrative and technical barriers to the introduction of digital technologies;
| | For example, the industry lacks a regulatory legal framework for the introduction of "deserted" technologies and state control, uniform formats for collecting and storing data, and the legal basis for digital document management is extremely weak, the Ministry of Energy noted. | |
As a solution to eliminate the identified barriers, as added in the ministry, the working group forms a detailed map of projects and tasks in three main areas: technology development, import substitution and government services. In total, as of February 5, 2020, about 40 projects are indicated. For each of them, the working group develops a detailed plan of measures for their implementation, and in particular - coordination with the national program "Digital Economy" and initiatives of other departments.
| | As a result, a common roadmap will be formed to support the digital transformation of the oil and gas industry. For each of the key areas of its digital transformation, the working group has formed proposals, including adjusting regulatory legal acts, testing and introducing digital technologies, and creating digital platforms. A list of measures and a schedule for their implementation have already been prepared for a number of projects, - told TAdviser in the Ministry of Energy. | |
Ultimately, this plan should lead not only to an adjusted regulatory framework, but also to the creation of conditions for the introduction of digital technologies in the oil and gas complex. Some of the proposed initiatives for clarification and detail will be integrated not only into the Digital Energy project, but also into the national Digital Economy program.
Dealing with the digital transformation of the oil and gas complex, the working group also interacts with other federal departments in such areas as the use of 5G technologies, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things standards and training.
Power Industry Competence Center
The center of competence in the electric power industry is the association of organizations for the digital development of the electric power industry "Digital power." The association was formed with the support of the Ministry of Energy in 2019 by such industry companies as Rosatom, Inter RAO, SO UES and Rosseti.
The association can freely include infrastructure participants in the electric power industry, generating companies, as well as research and educational institutions and organizations. As of February 5, 2020, the association is negotiating accession with a number of large organizations in the electric power industry and related industries.
The goal of the association, as noted in the Ministry of Energy, is to develop general directions for the digital development of the electric power industry and to study digital technologies, solutions and products of the industry.
Among the main tasks of the association are such initiatives as:
- preparation of proposals to improve the reliability and efficiency of the electric power industry of Russia through the use of proven technologies and taking into account the requirements for cybersecurity and import substitution;
