IDGC of Centre in the Kostroma region completed the bulk of work on reconstruction of two significant power supply centres in the region – the 110 kV substations "Kostroma-3" and "SU GRES". The substation "SU GRES" provides electricity to the rapidly growing industrial park "Volgorechensky", whose anchor residents are OJSC "Gazpromtrubinvest", LLC "NOV Kostroma", OJSC "INTER RAO - Electric Power Plants". The substation "Kostroma-3" is used to power a number of socially important facilities of the regional centre over the Kostroma River. During the reconstruction the capacity of each power facility was increased from 26 MVA to 32 MVA.
The power engineers also completed the major work on modernization of the 110 kV substation "Kostroma-1" and "Kostroma-2", providing electricity to large housing estates, industrial enterprises and social institutions of the city.
Putting all the power facilities into operation is planned for the 4th quarter of 2016.
In accordance with the approved investment program for 2016, IDGC of Centre plans to spend 6 billion rubles on modernization and reconstruction of power grid facilities. Most of this amount, about 3.3 billion rubles, is provided for implementation of projects to upgrade of 35-110 kV facilities (intended for power supply of companies and settlements of large districts). The highest scope of work is scheduled in the Belgorod, Lipetsk and Yaroslavl regions. Performed reconstruction will allow to meet the growing energy demands of large customers, to provide reliable power supply of the Central Federal District during autumn-winter peak loads.
