Siberian Smart Thermal Power Dispatch

Since 2021, Siberian Generating Company has invested over 515 million rubles digitising Novosibirsk's heat network, opening a new NTSK dispatch centre on 26 September 2025 that tracks pressure, temperature and flow from sensors on hundreds of thermal points — roughly halving the time it takes to locate and fix network defects, per the operator.
