    E3S Web of Conferences 124, 04003 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/201912404003 SES-2019 Methodical approach to assessing the effectiveness of the management system of thermal power plants in Russia P. I. Okley1, V. K. Lozenko1 and R. I. Inamov1,* 1 National Research University "Moscow Power Engineering Institute", Moscow, Russia Abstract. Physical deterioration of thermal power plants based on hydrocarbon fuels leads to technological violations (TV) in their work. Low rates of renewal of thermal generation predetermines the further exploitation of old capacities. In this regard, the activity of the management of energy holdings (EH) is more focused on maintaining the equipment in working condition. The methods, approaches and tools underlying decision-making by the management of energy holding companies are different, respectively, the results of the functioning of the organized management systems (MS) of each company are also different. To assess the effectiveness of the management system it is proposed to use such a generalized indicator as the number of technological violations per year per 1 GW of installed capacity. 1 Introduction capacity — for example, the balance of the largest holdings includes both traditional thermal power plants The electric power industry is one of the key areas of and nuclear and hydro generation. To understand the Russia's development, the country's economy and social scale of management activities it is interesting to find out position of all citizens depend on it.

  • An Overview of Boards of Directors at Russia's Largest Public Companies
    An Overview Of Boards Of Directors At Russia’s Largest Public Companies Andrei Rakitin Milena Barsukova Arina Mazunova Translated from Russian August 2020 Key Results According to information disclosed by 109 of Russia’s largest public companies: “Classic” board compositions of 11, nine, and seven seats prevail The total number of persons on Boards of the companies under study is not as low as it might seem: 89% of all Directors were elected to only one such Board Female Directors account for 12% and are more often elected to the audit, nomination, and remuneration committees than to the strategy committee Among Directors, there are more “humanitarians” than “techies,” while the share of “techies” among chairs is greater than across the whole sample The average age for Directors is 53, 56 for Chairmen, and 58 for Independent Directors Generation X is the most visible on Boards, and Generation Y Directors will likely quickly increase their presence if the impetuous development of digital technologies continues The share of Independent Directors barely reaches 30%, and there is an obvious lack of independence on key committees such as audit Senior Independent Directors were elected at 17% of the companies, while 89% of Chairs are not independent The average total remuneration paid to the Board of Directors is RUR 69 million, with the difference between the maximum and minimum being 18 times Twenty-four percent of the companies disclosed information on individual payments made to their Directors. According to this, the average total remuneration is approximately RUR 9 million per annum for a Director, RUR 17 million for a Chair, and RUR 11 million for an Independent Director The comparison of 2020 findings with results of a similar study published in 2012 paints an interesting dynamic picture.
