Cost reduction in the overall strategy of improving the energy efficiency of pumping stations in the Federal State Budgetary Institution “Management “Volgogradmeliovodkhoz”

Organizational and technological measures to improve the economic and energy efficiency of head and pumping pumping stations are considered, based on the organization of systematic accounting of electricity costs at all levels of its use, in management branches, on irrigation systems in order to identify unjustified costs. The main result of this work is the development of new tools for assessing the potential of using price-dependent management of electric power costs. The Institution has implemented measures to switch energy consumption to a higher voltage level. In addition, the competent transition of head pumping stations to the third or fourth price categories also allows you to reduce the cost of paying for consumed electricity. The proposed approach can be used in the development of departmental programs for integrated pricing management for electricity consumption for agricultural producers in order to increase the competitive ability of products obtained on irrigated lands.
