Hotline of power engineering specialists:
Last Sunday, a power outage occurred in the village of Litovniki in Zhiryatinsky district of the Bryansk region. After calls of residents of the settlement to IDGC of Centre – Bryanskenergo division, an emergency repair crew of the enterprise arrived there quickly. Power engineers found that the reason for the interruption was actions of intruders, who without authorization broke into the package transformer substation feeding the village and stole elements of the power transformer equipment. In the shortest possible time they replaced the transformer and returned electricity to the houses of the villagers.
The theft of electrical equipment is a serious problem - not only for its owners - energy companies. Stealing wires and other metal containing elements, violators leave without light residential houses, industrial and social facilities, and sometimes even entire settlements.
IDGC of Centre systematically works to prevent these illegal activities. In all branches of the company, comprehensive raid inspections are conducted to prevent and detect the theft of power equipment, in which, in some cases, law enforcement officers are also involved. The perpetrators are brought to justice up to the criminal one. Moreover, this form of punishment may apply to persons who are engaged in the resale of stolen equipment.
To inform about cases of illegal penetration into the territory of power facilities, facts of theft of power equipment, you can refer to any Distribution Zone of IDGC of Centre’s branches, and also by calling the 24-hour toll-free direct line of power engineers at 8 800 50 50 115.
