IDGC of Centre has started implementation of the approved investment program for 2018. In the specified period the company plans to put into operation 454 MVA of capacity and 3,198 km of power lines. The funding of the program will be 13.5 billion rubles.
The document provides for construction and modernization of a number of large and significant power facilities in the regions of IDGC of Centre’s service area (11 subjects of the Central Federal District). One of the most ambitious projects of the investment program will be the construction of the 110/10 kV Substation «Sputnik» in the Voronezh region. A new closed-type power centre with transformers of 2×40 MVA will be constructed in the northern part of Voronezh, where mass construction of multi-storey residential buildings with a developed social infrastructure is planned. «Sputnik» is included in the list of electric grid facilities recommended for commissioning (reconstruction, technical re-equipment) in 2018-2022, the Scheme and program for the long-term development of the electric power industry in the Voronezh region. Its construction is planned to be completed in 2019.
Another project of the investment program of IDGC of Centre is the 110/35/10 Substation «Vyazma-1» in the Smolensk region, included in the program of development of the regional electric power industry. At the substation, which provides electricity to consumers in the eastern part of the region, including large industrial enterprises, work is underway to increase capacity and upgrade equipment. It is scheduled to complete it this year. The reconstruction of «Vyazma-1», in addition to a general increase in the reliability of energy supply, will create conditions for new customer connections.
Reconstruction of several large energy facilities is planned this year in the Belgorod region. Among them, there is the 110 kV Substation «Promyshlennaya» in Stary Oskol and the 35/10 kV Substation «Rogovatoye» in Starooskolsky district. Both facilities provide for complete modernization of the equipment. The Substation «Promyshlennaya» feeds a number of large enterprises of Stary Oskol, including the confectionery factory «Slavyanka» (one of the largest Russian confectionary holdings «Slavyanka») and one of the leaders in milk production in the region, the dairy plant «Avida». The Substation «Rogovatoye» feeds eight thousand customers of Starooskolsky district, including a facility of reliability category 1, the livestock complex «Oskolsky Bacon» (included in the «Promagro» agro-holding, one of the largest pork producers in the Black Soil region).
In the Tambov region IDGC of Centre plans to construct power lines, which, in particular, will feed facilities of the agro-industrial complex and educational sphere. In Zherdevsky, Tokarevsky, Sampursky and Znamensky districts, a 53-kilometre double-circuit overhead line (Conductor) of 35 kV will be constructed to connect 11 sites of the «Tambovsky Bacon» pig-breeding complex. In Nikiforovsky district the power company will construct a section of overhead lines with a length of 14 km to connect to the grid a complex for acceptance, cleaning and drying of cereals and oilseeds of LLC «Brachrosagro», an agro-industrial enterprise, the investor of which is Rainer Brach, the owner of the German steel company «Reiner Brach GmbH». In the science city of Michurinsk, 11 km of 10 kV lines will be constructed to connect a branch of the «School — Science and Technology Centre named after I.V. Michurin».
In the Kursk region the company will provide electricity for a new high-tech meat processing complex with an annual production capacity of 185 thousand tons, built in the settlement of Linets of Zheleznogorsky district by the company «AgroPromkomplektatsiya — Kursk». A 16-kilometre tap from the 35 kV overhead line Troitskaya-Voropaevo will be constructed for this purpose. «AgroPromkomplektatsiya — Kursk» (part of the GC «AgroPromkomplektatsiya») is one of the leading producers of pork in the region, creating here a full cluster focused on the production of meat, from own fields and elevators to the advanced feed mill and pig-breeding complexes. The new facility commissioning will allow the company to close its production chain in the region, after which it will be able to work on a principle from the field to the counter.
Two significant 110 kV lines will be reconstructed in the Lipetsk region. The line «Lebedyan left/right» provides power supply to Lebedyansky, Dankovsky and Krasninsky districts, the line «Donskaya» feeds Zadonsky district. Both facilities will be upgraded using innovative equipment.
The implementation of IDGC of Centre’s investment program allows improving the quality and reliability of electricity supply for customers in 11 constituents of the Central Federal District, and contributes significantly to the social and economic development of these regions.
