Hotline of power engineering specialists:
Specialists of PJSC Rosseti continue to carry out emergency recovery work to eliminate the consequences of the second wave of the disaster that hit the Tver region.
On the night of 30 October, the region was covered by a new powerful atmospheric front in the form of wet snow and a squalling gusty wind. The situation was complicated by the transition of the temperature from plus to minus values, which provoked snow sticking to wires and their subsequent breaks.
The Headquarters of the electric grid complex continued to function in a special operating mode, the meteorological situation was monitored, and the specialists of Rosseti were ready to meet the bad weather.
The power engineers, who had been working around the clock for two days before this, immediately started emergency repair work. Rounds and inspections of power lines were made, damaged sections were identified, and repairs were immediately started, which are ongoing at the present time.
The work of the electric grid company’s personnel is carried out around the clock and is complicated by difficult meteorological conditions. Particularly intense emergency recovery activities are taking place in swampy areas, where long overhead lines break down at the moment of transition from thaw to frost, due to high humidity and freezing of precipitation on poles and wires.
Poor visibility and difficult road conditions due to wet snow, ice, strong gusts of wind complicate the conduct of activities to restore the power supply. Despite this, PJSC Rosseti, being a socially responsible company, works at a fast pace, including advancing, in order to prevent and minimize the consequences of technological violations.
To speed up the course of restoration work, the energy company is increasing the grouping of forces and means. There are currently 218 crews working in the region, including the attracted personnel of Rosseti Centre - the managing organization of Rosseti Centre and Volga Region. Also, to the existing ones, another 53 crews of subsidiaries of PJSC Rosseti are expected to arrive in the region. The crews are provided with the necessary equipment, forces and means to carry out the work; in total, more than a thousand personnel are involved. The power engineers make rounds on special highly passable equipment; unmanned aerial vehicles are sent to these places to identify hard-to-reach damaged sections. Since they have highly passable equipment, the power engineers have the opportunity to get to places of damage to power lines, a significant part of which is located away from busy motorways in sparsely populated areas.
The staff of Tverenergo organized courtyard rounds of the population in order to inform the residents of current information on the progress of emergency recovery work, which is ongoing.
The branch “Rosseti Centre Tverenergo” thanks the residents of the Tver region for understanding the difficult emergency situation in the region and asks for patience. We draw attention to the fact that timely contacting the company’s hotline at 8-800-50-50-50-115 will help the power engineers identify de-energized sections of power supply schemes that are not under the direct control of Rosseti Centre, but belong to territorial grid companies and other network owners.
