Hotline of power engineering specialists:
In recent days, a lot of precipitation has fallen in the Leningrad region. Because of this, at present there is heavy accumulation of snow on power lines and trees, which causes technological disruptions in grids. At the same time, meteorologists predict the snowfall continuation.
Due to the unfavourable weather conditions in the region, Lenenergo (part of ROSSETI’s group) switched to a special mode of operation from 15 January. Crews from neighbouring regions were sent to help the power engineers of the northwestern region.
Power engineers of IDGC of Centre - the managing organization of IDGC of Centre and Volga Region are ready to provide active assistance to colleagues. From the Company’s 16 branches, 38 first responding restoration crews of more than 250 people and more than 80 vehicles were promptly sent to weather-affected districts of the Leningrad region. They will take part in emergency recovery operations.
In addition, IDGC of Centre and IDGC of Centre and Volga Region are in a mode of readiness for responding to major technological violations and assisting subsidiaries and affiliates of PJSC ROSSETI with 168 specialized crews of increased mobility consisting of over a thousand people and over 300 vehicles. The crews, formed from a number of highly qualified workers, who received additional training, are intended for expeditious transfer of additional forces between branches of companies and participation in emergency recovery operations in territories of other subsidiaries and affiliates of PJSC ROSSETI.
