Vladimir Putin

Meeting on the reform of the energy industry

Participants:
"In February the Government approved the General Scheme of the location of energy facilities until 2020. Under that programme more than 40 gigawatts of generating capacity will be introduced in the next five years alone. Nearly 100,000 km of long-distance and distribution networks will be built. By the way, that would give a boost to the related industries: machine-building, the construction industry and so on."
