In accordance with the approved plan and the federal program, during 2016 IDGC of Centre – Smolenskenergo division completed the connection to its grid of 36 socially important facilities, which included kindergartens in the settlement of Odintsovo and the city of Smolensk. The total capacity of the facilities is 174 kW.
The kindergarten in the settlement of Odintsovo, designed for 150 seats, was connected to the grid of the energy company in the framework of the modernization program of preschool education systems. The project provided for construction of two 0.4 kV cable lines with their approximate length of 100 metres. The kindergarten was powered from the substation "South" as the first category customer and is provided with a redundant power supply source. Thus, in case of failure on one line it will be automatically switched to the second, and the kindergarten will continue to receive electricity in a normal mode.
Also, the grid connection of the building of the "Nastya" kindergarten on New Leningrad street in the city of Smolensk was completed in 2016. The main source of power supply was the 200-metre section of a 0.4 kV cable line.
Smolenskenergo performs all work on the grid connection with modern electrical equipment, providing a high level of electrical safety. During the reconstruction of overhead power lines above 1 kV are removed from the territory of educational institutions, with the impossibility of removal - transferred to a cable line. Construction of lines up to 1 kV on the territories of schools and kindergartens is carried out using safe, insulated wires, lines above 1 kV - with cables.

To ensure stable operation of the power system during the flood emergency reserve is being formed of materials and equipment, boats, mobile pumps, machines and mechanisms, the main standby power supply sources, primary and backup channels of communication and notification.Timetables for duty of managers, specialists and emergency crews have been established. To promptly respond to possible cases of flooding Kurskenergo has formed 10 mobile crews composed of 76 people and 21 vehicles. In the reserve there are other 30 first responding and restoration crews, one in each Distribution Zone. The crews have been provided with schemes of entrance to overhead line sections, located in a risk zone, indicating the characteristics of the water and other possible obstacles and ways to overcome them, and detours. "Timely implementation of organizational and technical measures to prepare for the flood, will serve as the key to ensure reliable, trouble-free operation of power grid facilities during the spring flood," stresses First Deputy Director - Chief Engineer of Kurskenergo Vyacheslav Istomin.
