* KEGOC branches of the Southern and Western MES are referred to the areas with water deficit, according to the Water Stress Map

Potential sources of water and soil pollution at the Company’s facilities include: 

• transformer oil used in oil-filled equipment; 
• wastewater generated from domestic water use. 

To minimize environmental impact, KEGOC JSC prioritizes environmentally friendly equipment when making procurement decisions. The Company regularly replaces oil circuit breakers with safer SF₆ and vacuum alternatives, contributing to the reduction of transformer oil use at MES branch substations. The use of oil-free equipment increases reliability and fire safety while also eliminating the risk of underground water and soil contamination. Oilfilled equipment is equipped with oil catchment systems or containment trays to prevent oil from entering the soil. The integrity of oil containment bunds is regularly inspected. 

Wastewater is not discharged onto the land surface.
