IDGC of Centre summed up the results of implementation of the investment program for the first half of 2018. In this period, the company commissioned 105 MVA of capacity, which is 60% higher than the planned value, and 1,182 kilometres of power lines, exceeding the plan by 20%.
The volume of financing of the program in January-June amounted to 5.3 billion rubles. 2.6 billion rubles were allocated for technical re-equipment and reconstruction, 2.7 billion rubles for construction of new and expansion of existing facilities.
The document provides for the 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 company this year will be the construction in the Voronezh region of the 110/10 kV substation "Sputnik". The new closed-type power centre with 2x40 MVA transformers will be constructed in the northern part of Voronezh, where mass construction of multi-storey residential buildings with developed social infrastructure is planned. "Sputnik" is included in the list of electric grid facilities recommended for commissioning by the Scheme and the program for the future development of the electric power industry of the Voronezh region for 2018-2022. Until the end of 2018, it is planned to erect a substation building, completion of the construction and commissioning of the facility is scheduled for the end of 2019.
IDGC of Centre completed another major project already in the spring: in the Belgorod region, the company carried out comprehensive reconstruction of the 110/10 kV "Sheino" substation, which included increasing the capacity and modernizing all power grid equipment of the power facility. The reconstruction of "Sheino" was connected with the need to provide power supply for two new dairy farms of the milk company "Seversky Donets" (part of the large regional agricultural holding "Green Valley") with a total planned consumption of 2.4 MW. For this, the energy company also constructed 10 kilometres of power lines and installed two package transformer substations. In addition to the facilities of "Green Valley", the substation "Sheino" feeds 13 settlements of Korochansky district, social infrastructure and life support facilities, industrial and agricultural enterprises.
During 2018-2019, IDGC of Centre plans to reconstruct a number of large power facilities in the Belgorod region. Among them, the 35/10 kV substation "Rogovatoye" in Starooskolsky district, as well as the 110 kV substation "Promyshlennaya" in Stary Oskol and 35 kV "Nikolskoye" in Belgorodsky district. At all the facilities, the equipment is to be fully modernized. At the same time, "Nikolskoye" will be the first in the region power centre, in the work of which digital data channels will be used.
Eight thousand consumers of Starooskolsky district, including the livestock complex "Oskolsky Bacon" (included in the agroholding "Promagro", one of the largest pork producers in the Black Earth Region) are supplied from the substation "Rogovatoye". The work will be completed at it this year. "Promyshlennaya" feeds a number of large enterprises of Stary Oskol, including the confectionery factory "Slavyanka" (one of the largest Russian confectionary holdings "Slavyanka") and the dairy plant "Avida", which is one of the leaders in milk production in the region. The substation "Nikolskoye" provides electricity for a number of settlements, as well as several individual housing construction microdistricts of Belgorodsky district. In total, about 10 thousand people are fed from it, several large and socially significant facilities, including schools, boiler houses, water wells. At both facilities the work is planned to be completed next year.
Another facility 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 provides, in particular, for replacement of two 40 MVA transformers each with 63 MVA transformers. Completion of the reconstruction of "Vyazma-1" is planned in the third quarter of 2018. As a result, in addition to a general increase in the reliability of energy supply, conditions will be created for connection to the grid of new customers.
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 institutions. In Zherdevsky, Tokarevsky, Sampursky and Znamensky districts, three 35 kV double-circuit overhead lines (conductors) with a total length of 53 km will be constructed to connect 11 sites of the pig-breeding complex LLC "Tambovsky Bacon". In Nikiforovsky district, power engineers are currently constructing a section of a 10 kV overhead line with its length of 16 km for connection to the grid of the facility for receiving, cleaning and drying of grain and oil crops of LLC "Brachrosagro" - an agro-industrial enterprise, the investor of which is the owner of the German steel company "Reiner Brach GmbH" Reiner Brach. In the city of science -Michurinsk - 11 km of 10 kV lines for power supply of the branch of the "School - Science and Technology Centre named after I.V. Michurin". By now, more than half of the work has already been carried out for all the projects mentioned.
In the Kursk region, IDGC of Centre provided power supply for a new high-tech meat-processing complex with an annual production capacity of 185 thousand tons, built in the village of Linets in Zheleznogorsky district by the company "AgroPromkomplektatsiya-Kursk". For this purpose, the power company constructed a 16 km tap of the 35 kV overhead power line "Troitskaya - Voropaevo". "AgroPromkomplektatsiya - Kursk" (included in GC "AgroPromkomplektatsiya") is one of the leading producers of pork in the region, having created here a full cluster focused on meat production, from own fields and elevators to the advanced feed mill and pig-breeding complexes.
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. So, about a kilometre of the line "Donskaya", which runs through the Don River in the Galichya Gora nature reserve, where large-scale work is banned by law, will be reconstructed using the ultra-light cable "Monte Carlo". The traditional steel core in it is replaced by the special polymer alloy, which makes the cable three times lighter, and its throughput - twice as high. In addition, it is not subject to corrosion.
The implementation of IDGC of Centre’s investment program contributes to further improving the quality and reliability of electricity supply to consumers in 11 constituents of the Central Federal District, and contributes significantly to the social and economic development of these regions.
