Integrated Iron and Steel Works “Zaporizhstal” saved about 8 mln grn. in virtue of implementation of differentiated threezone electricity tariff. Incensement of energy efficiency associated directly with realization program of Metinvest Group, which is intended to realize the energy efficient projects and to implement the raw material and energy resources complete expenditure control across all levels of production.
Priority orientation on reducing the expenses for fuel-energy resources at JSC “Zaporizhstal” were discussed during open working meeting, concerning issues of energy saving in Zaporizhzhian region, and concerning the supply of an excessive heat of JSC “Zaporizhstal” for the needs of citizens of the city, which was held on August 05, 2013 on the basis of JSC “Zaporizhstal” under co-management of General Director of the plant Rostislav Shurma and Deputy Chairman of Zaporizhzhian region State Administration Pyotr Goncharuk.
