Another priority area of Livinsky’s work was the social security of personnel: he strongly supports initiatives to help employees over 50 years of age: he introduces anniversary payments, financial assistance for those retiring, initiated a voluntary health insurance program and treatment in sanatoriums at the expense of the company. A Veterans Council was created under the UEC, which deals with social issues.
Pavel Livinsky and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin
In January 2013, Pavel Livinsky continued his career as a statesman, heading the city Department of Fuel and Energy - the entire metropolitan energy sector was under the leadership of the young leader.
Being a father of many children, the official began his activities in a new place by increasing the level of city security. After the first year of work, he reported on the lighting of areas throughout the capital. Among them are about 4.5 thousand courtyards, 1 thousand playgrounds, more than 400 sports grounds, 244 inter-block driveways, 42 kindergartens, 24 schools and 7 hospitals.
In 2020, a native of Chelyabinsk was ranked 5th in the ranking of the youngest officials of the Moscow Government - at that time he was 35 years old.
In the same year, the “My Street” program for the improvement of the capital was approved, based on the concept of a “pedestrian center”, which involves returning streets to pedestrians while reducing space for automobile traffic.
As part of the program, the Department of Fuel and Energy was responsible for organizing architectural and artistic lighting of streets and moving wire communications underground. Livinsky’s task was to create a modern color and light environment in the capital.
In 2020, the first part of the web of wires disappeared from the streets of Moscow: 950 kilometers of communications were removed into a special cable drain. In total, it is planned to move 2,350 kilometers of wires underground.

In March 2020, Pavel Livinsky reported that lighting appeared in 1.5 thousand houses and dozens of city streets: in three years, the entire historical center and areas near major highways received lighting. Particular attention was paid to preserving the historical appearance of the city - for example, exact copies of Moscow gas lamps of the 19th century, but with LED lamps, appeared on the central streets.
Over the five years of work P.A. Livinsky installed more than 570 thousand lighting fixtures and about 300 thousand outdoor lighting poles in Moscow. 16 thousand yards are illuminated.
Instead of short-lived sodium lamps, energy-efficient LED lamps with a service life of 10-20 years have begun to be introduced. Autonomous stations powered by solar batteries are installed in parks: during the day they accumulate charge and at night they illuminate the territory.
In March 2020, two departments (fuel and energy and housing and communal services) merged into one department, headed by Pavel Anatolyevich.
Work at the Moscow City Hall
January 22, 2013 Sergei Sobyanin signs an order to appoint a 33-year-old manager as head of the capital’s Fuel and Energy Department. In 2020, Livinsky was one of the five youngest employees of the Moscow government.

In 2013, under the leadership of Livinsky, a major project to update urban lighting was implemented. Two years later, more than 300 new lamps were installed on the streets of Moscow, and some electrical wires were hidden underground. In 2020, a program was implemented to illuminate trees and lawns at MKAD interchanges. Under Livinsky, lighting was carried out in 15 thousand households.

In 2020, the mayor of Moscow decided to reorganize the Department of Technical and Technical Economics by merging the Department of Housing and Communal Services with it. Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Communal Services and Public Improvement Pyotr Biryukov recommended Pavel Livinsky for the post of head of the united structure, and on March 7, 2020, he took up a new position. Now he had to combine solving his usual energy issues with issues of repairs, water use, landscaping and landscaping.
Head of Rosseti
PJSC Rosseti was founded in 2013 to manage the country's electrical networks. From the moment of its founding, the company was headed by Oleg Budargin, but almost immediately claims began to arise against his leadership. The Main Control Directorate of the President and the Accounts Chamber recorded major violations in organizations controlled by Budargin. The search for a replacement leader has begun.
Dmitry Medvedev and Pavel Livinsky
The most likely successors were the director of IDGC of the Urals OJSC Sergei Dregval and the Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Kravchenko, but ultimately Livinsky became a compromise figure. On September 11, 2020, Pavel Livinsky headed Rosseti: the board of directors unanimously appointed him general director and chairman of the company’s board.
Already on October 17, 2020, Livinsky holds a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, where he voices the company’s priorities: tariff reform, cost reduction and innovation.
Rosseti plans to spend more than one trillion rubles on the implementation of digital networks by 2030. Other areas of innovative development: the introduction of services for monitoring electricity consumption, automation and remote inspection of power lines.

Experts expected serious personnel changes after the change of head of Rosseti, but Livinsky said in an October interview that at the moment there was no need for personnel purges.
At the same time, demands on management have increased. From now on, they are required to know by heart the power grid property entrusted to them, as well as maintain trusting relationships with the heads of regions. In addition, the top manager placed business trips of the subsidiaries’ managers under personal control in order to avoid abuse.
Rosseti presented a strategy for building a digital network until 2030
On February 15, at the Russian Investment Forum 2018 in Sochi, the opening of the “Rosseti Territory” took place - a congress and exhibition platform where open discussions on all aspects and prospects of “smart” energy will take place over two days. After the opening ceremony, a plenary session “Networks - an integrator of the digital economy” took place, during which Pavel Livinsky presented the concept for implementing the Rosseti strategic project - digitalization of networks.

Rosseti
The digital economy is a development vector adopted by the state, and we, as a leading infrastructure company, follow it. Intelligent networks underlie the construction of a modern, efficient energy complex. Digitalization of the network is not a tribute to fashion, but a requirement of today, due, among other things, to the spread of distributed generation in the world, the creation of microgrids, the development of electricity storage devices and renewable energy sources, which the consumer can already install at home and [thanks to which] even become a producer of electricity. In the future, a large network will be needed only in megacities and for large industrial production. The power grid complex must be ready for this, it is necessary to increase its efficiency and meet all future consumer requirements.
According to Pavel Livinsky, to achieve your goals, it is important to solve several problems:
- first of all, obtain the right to long-term tariff agreements and installation of “smart” metering devices at the border of the balance sheet;
- to launch the production of modern equipment and software in Russia;
- begin training new personnel ready to work in the digital power grid complex.
However, the top manager is convinced that digitalization will have an effect and will be successful only in one case - with a one-time comprehensive implementation, i.e. not in fragments, but as a single project.
The head of Rosseti emphasized that the presented project, worth 1.3 trillion rubles at current prices, will be self-sustaining within 14 years and will not require an additional increase in the network component of the tariff, since the digital network allows for increased efficiency and a number of positive internal effects. He also noted that digitalization of the network allows the company to significantly improve production and financial and economic indicators, that is, to become more attractive to investors and increase capitalization.

For the first time I see a proposal from Rosseti that provides for return on investment and self-sufficiency. This is definitely a step in the right direction. I am sure that if the proposed strategy is implemented, its results will pleasantly surprise everyone, even the authors themselves.
Deputy Minister of Energy of Russia Vyacheslav Kravchenko supported the idea of building “smart” networks in Russia, noting that the department is ready, together with Rosseti, to work on assessing the cost of the project and the regulatory framework for implementing the presented plans and developing the entire industry as a whole.
