Power engineers of the Tver branch of IDGC of Centre in March fulfilled the grid connection of electrical installations of the section of the new high-speed motorway M-11 "Moscow-Saint-Petersburg" in Bologovsky district with its capacity of 1 MW. For this purpose, a 10 kV cable-overhead line with a length of 12 km from the 35/10 kV substation "Aleshinka" was constructed, and modernization was carried out at the power plant itself. And the branch "Lipetskenergo" in June increased the capacity of the Lebedyansky plant of construction and finishing machines by 4.2 MW (OJSC "Stroymash"). The enterprise is the largest domestic manufacturer and supplier of specialized equipment and decided to expand production through the manufacture of tools and building levels. Additional power was required for the power supply of a new workshop for production of aluminum profiles.
A large amount of work was done by IDGC of Centre with connection to the grid of large agro-industrial facilities. In the Tambov region, the company’s specialists provided the delivery of 3.8 MW of capacity commissioned after modernization of the poultry farm "Ilovaiskaya" - one of the largest agricultural enterprises in the region. For this purpose, power engineers reconstructed 10 kV overhead lines # 3 and 6 "Khobotovskaya" connecting the poultry farm with the 110/35/10 kV substation with the same name. The Kursk branch of IDGC of Centre in July completed the project on connection to the power grid of a large high-tech meat processing facility with a production capacity of 185 thousand tons per year, which is being built in Zheleznogorsky district of the Kursk region by the company "AgroPromkomplektatsiya-Kursk". Within the framework of this project, a 14-kilometre tap from the 35 kV "Troitskaya-Voropaevo" overhead line was constructed to the 35/10 kV substation of the applicant. The total connected capacity of the facility is 4.9 MW. The Group of Companies "AgroPromkomplektatsiya" is one of the leading agro-industrial associations in the Russian Federation, specializes in pig breeding and dairy farming, as well as in processing products and selling them to consumers.

The facility was commissioned in late May. And the Kostroma branch of the company provided the delivery of power to a mushroom facility of LLC "AC "Sudislavsky". The launch of the facility with a capacity of 480 tons per year is planned for the autumn of 2018.
Connection to the grid of significant social facilities continued in the first half of the year. Power engineers of the branch "Smolenskenergo" completed the grid connection of a perinatal centre under construction in Smolensk at the end of June. The facility with a maximum connected capacity of 2.29 MW is being built within the framework of the region’s healthcare modernization under the regional state program "Health Development in the Smolensk Region" for 2014-2020". And specialists of the Belgorod branch of IDGC of Centre implemented the grid connection of a new high-tech cardiac centre, which opened in Stary Oskol in May. The Centre will conduct about 8,000 operations a year, according to Governor of the Belgorod region Evgeny Savchenko, the "Heart Clinic" will contribute to the implementation of the task facing the medical community of the region to reduce the level of mortality from cardiovascular diseases by half within five to three years.
Among housing development facilities, connected by specialists of IDGC of Centre, is a new micro-district in the southern part of Tambov, built within the framework of the "Housing for the Russian Family" program. During the first stage of the grid connection, three residential houses were connected to the grid for 446 apartments with a total residential area of 25 thousand square metres, for this purpose more than 5 km of cable lines from 110/6 kV substation #5 to the customer’s transformer substation 6/0.4 kV were constructed, from which new homes are supplied with electricity.
