Hotline of power engineering specialists:
The planned funding for the repair program of IDGC of Centre - Smolenskenergo division in 2019 is 223.78 million rubles.
For the current year, Smolenskenergo’s power engineers plan to repair 1,894.37 km of power lines of all voltage classes and 651 transformer substations of 6-10/0.4 kV. Also, in the schedule of works for the year, it is planned to clear routes from trees and shrubs in an area of 2,501.26 hectares, which is 958.92 hectares (62%) more than last year.
In order to improve the quality of power supply to consumers, Smolenskenergo will repair individual pieces of equipment at 167 substations of 35-110 kV.
At the same time, the main volume will be fulfilled by own forces, which not only reduce operational costs, but also save the planned physical scope of repairs. This year, with the help of our own staff, 61.28% of the program is planned to be implemented without the involvement of contractors.
The implementation of the repair program began already in January, but the active stage of the implementation of the repair campaign will be in the warm season.
Smolenskenergo’s specialists use modern technologies and materials for planned work at power facilities, thereby increasing the equipment’s service life and reducing the cost of scheduled repairs.
At the same time, in addition to the implementation of the planned measures of the repair program, throughout the year, the power engineers constantly perform urgent work related to the elimination of defects identified during the inspection of equipment, the failure of which may in the future cause serious damage to the equipment.
The implementation of the branch’s repair program is aimed at ensuring the operability of power lines and substations, the trouble-free passage of the heating season and the overall increase in the reliability of the regional power grid complex.
The power engineers ask residents of the region to understand the temporary inconveniences associated with partial or complete limitation of electricity supply during the scheduled works, since these measures are aimed at further uninterrupted operation of power equipment and avoiding emergency situations in the grids. You can familiarize yourselves with the schedule of planned outages on IDGC of Centre’s website at mrsk-1.ru (on the main page of the site you should click on the “Power outage” banner) or by calling the direct line of power engineers at 1350 (from fixed phones) or 8-800-50-50- 115, where the contact centre’s specialists will tell you whether the lack of electricity in the house is a planned outage, or is related to any abnormal situation, they will specify the turn-on time and the cause of the blackout.
