“Rostec” powered by “Rosset” – Kommersant

“Rostec” will take part in the development of investment funds “Rossetti”. By 2016 all the construction projects of the state holding will manage the joint venture “Rosset” with the State Corporation – “Center of technical customer.” The joint venture will be able to dispose of a significant share of investment, which in the years 2015-2019 should amount to almost 1 trillion rubles. The role of “Rostec” in the project until the obscure: his businesses do not have the right technology, and the source of funds for the establishment of industries to be determined. However, according to sources, “Kommersant” CEO “Rosset” Oleg Budargin to strengthen its position could require political clout head “Rostec” Chemezov.

Today the Board of Directors “Rossetti” will consider the establishment of a joint venture with “Rostec” which consolidates the functions of the customer design and construction of power grid facilities. It informed sources “b” and reaffirmed in the “Rossetti”. The new structure – JSC “Center of technical customer” (TSTZ) – will also import substitution program (in 2013, according to “Rosset” dependence on foreign equipment technologically complex was 38%).

The idea of ​​creating TSTZ to reduce the share of foreign equipment purchased leaders “Rossetti” and “Rostec” Oleg Chemezov Budargin and in February submitted to Vladimir Putin (copy of the letter is a “b”) . February 20 President put the resolution “agree” and 20 March, the representatives of the Russian Federation on the board of directors “Rosset” received a directive (there is a “b”) to vote for the creation of TSTZ with a share holding not less than 50% plus one share. After approval by the Board of General Director of “Rossetti” Oleg Budargin should two months to ensure approval of the concept of operation TSTZ agreed with the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Economy and Budget Center until 2018.

The joint venture will sell its investment subsidiaries “Rosset,” says the holding. In a letter to Vladimir Putin said that the new structure will ensure “the implementation of the total volume of new construction” since 2016, and the effectiveness of its subsidiaries will increase due to the “liberation of personnel from investing activities”. As explained in “Rosset”, we are talking about the objects of the new construction and renovation. Source: “b” says TSTZ claims to control over the entire investment program (planned at 976.3 billion rubles. In 2015-2019 years).

But the choice of “Rostec” as a partner is not obvious. In the structure of the state corporation is “Tekhnopromexport”

(engineering generation) and United Engine Corporation (produces turbines), but there is no technology for power supply equipment. But “Rosset” confident that “Rostec” “great opportunities for development and production of high-tech products.” In “Rostec” reported that prepare the list of companies that will be able to produce the necessary products when retrofitting, and create long-term production program. But sources “b” believe that the project can be other reasons. In “Rostec” no particular desire nor the competence to build something in the networks, says one of them, but the joint venture may be necessary team Oleg Budargin to due Chemezov strengthen its political weight on the background of the head of the Federal Grid Company (FGC, included in the “Rossetti”) Andrew Murov having strong support from the top.

It is assumed that TSTZ will conclude with companies “Rostec” long-term contracts “for the supply of certain types of equipment, for example, three years ahead,” says the “Rosset”, the enterprise will have the opportunity to form a production program and carry out re. Source: “b” close to “Rosset”, says TSTZ disappear with the need for structures contracting subsidiaries IDGC and FGC, if they can not find work. The largest of these is the ECMC UES FGC (the investment company in 2015 could reach 75.5 billion rubles., At 2016-2019 years – 250 billion rubles.). But FGC emphasize that the directive in question is not about a single technical customer, but the customer “for individual power grid facilities,” while ECMC – tehzakazchika within the FGC investment program and “its activities effectively.” In FGC expects that “the joint venture will increase the efficiency and transparency of procurement throughout the complex to the level of FGC”.

Suppliers “Rosset” joint venture concerned. “This is the monopolization of the procurement program of the holding, and the cost can be cut only the market – says the source” b “in otrasli.- Attachments” Rossetti “and so sequestered, and with the participation of” Rostec “them a little that remains.” But the head of the Department for Control of electric power of the Federal Antimonopoly Service Vitaly Korolev monopolization does not see. The main thing, he says, “not to create an administrative, economic and technological barriers to participation in the auction.”
