Planned capital investments in 2014–2019, RUB BnApproved by the Board of Directors of IDGC of Center within the Company’s adjusted investment programme for 2014–2019, Minutes dd March 14, 2014 No 06/14, and approved in the established procedure in 2014 by executive bodies of subjects of the Russian Federation under the Resolutin of the Government of the Russian Federation dd December 01, 2009 No 97.

The planned capital investment of the investment programme for 2014–2019 provides for an increase in investment with no significant changes in dynamics.

The dynamics of capital investment is determined by the flow of funding sources being used. The reduction of borrowings is covered by the increase in using internal funding sources (including depreciation and operating profit). As a result, the redistribution between internal and borrowed sources in the planning period will cause no decrease in capital investment and will have no impact on performance by the Company of the electric reliability improvement programme, as well as obligations for grid connection of applicants, being provided by engineering requirements and standard regulations of the Russian Federation.
