The revenue from grid connection services was RUB 56 million or 6.8% greater than the target; the excess of the target was mainly due to the revenue increase at Komienergo branch by RUB 90 million (closing of contracts for grid connection of 110/6 Yarvozh substation, closing of contract with JSC Vorkutaugol) and Novgorodenergo for RUB 28 million (JSC Druzhba Main Pipelines and the Administration of the Ministry of Interior of Russia in the Novgorod Region). At the same time, the revenue at Arkhenergo branch decreased by RUB 57 million in comparison with the target.

The revenue from electricity sales was RUB 17 million greater than the target (according to accounting statements) or 0.2%, which is due to the increase of electricity sales at Kolenergo branch.

The revenue from other activities increased by RUB 46 million or 4.7%, which is due to the increase of revenue from transfer of electricity facilities (Vologdaenergo branch, contract with JSC Yamalgazinvest, + RUB 42 million) in comparison with the target, and the increase of the amount of services of operating and technical maintenance and repair of electric grid equipment.

The increase of management costs in comparison with the 2014 target amounted to RUB 43 million or 5.3%, which is due to higher costs in payroll with allowances (RUB 28 million); the exceeding of the planned amounts is due to an objective inability to provide leave during preparations for the fall and winter period, development of the 2015-2019 business plan, and, consequently, classification unused leave in the form of regular salaries as costs).
