  • JTI Invests in Innovations in Yelets
    JTI Invests in Innovations in Yelets Yelets, Lipetsk Region, February 1, 2016 – The JTI Yelets factory (part of JTI Group) has invested over 300 million rubles in a sustainable cogeneration plant producing heat and power from natural gas. The company’s own heat and power plant will help improve the environment in Yelets, reduce the burden on the city’s grid and ensure uninterruptible power supply. The cogeneration plant has no equal in Lipetsk Region by efficiency, which reaches 88 percent. The CHP has an electrical output of 3,638 MW and heat output of 3,089 Gcal/h. Unlike a regular power plant, where all the produced heat is lost to the environment, the cogeneration station uses heat for production and heating purposes, which helps reduce carbon dioxide and other air pollutants by a factor of 2 to 3 and make the air in the city cleaner. “The JTI Yelets factory continues to develop rapidly and implement innovations. The company has invested over 75 million US dollars in the factory over the past eight years and the new project is yet another evidence of our commitment to continuous improvement. The launch of the cogeneration plant will improve not only the plant’s power efficiency and environmental safety, but the city’s energy infrastructure as well,” said Timur Mutaev, General Director of JTI Yelets. In addition to the stand-alone power plant, the factory also constructed a new cable line to supply power to several neighboring socially significant buildings, including the fire department. When disconnecting from the city power grid, the factory will present this cable line to Yelets municipal services.

The features of the regions in the socio-economic terms determine the development of the national economy and the level of citizens' well-being. The paper highlights the features of the regions depending on three areas: budgetary, social, and economic. These areas are analyzed using the example of the Central Federal District of Russia. Based on the results of the analysis, the features of the regions within the Central Federal District of the Russian Federation are determined. In addition, perspective directions for the development of the regions under consideration are presented on the basis of improving statistics, monitoring, increasing the salaryindex, reducing the debt load on the population, developing the digital economy, and improving the system of subsidies. The possibility of avoiding the subsidization of regions through the development of innovation and agriculture is also shown. An author's approach is proposed to determine the characteristics of the region for their future development. The justifying calculations for the applied approach in the framework of the efficiency of the regional economy on the basis of the salaryindex and the determination of the level of competitiveness of the region on the basis of the energy efficiency index are given.
