Director General of Rosseti Pavel Livinskiy visited the Tver region to accept work on the reconstruction of the energy centre and the replacement of a transformer substation located in the Kimrsky district and not having an owner.
A resident of Kommunalnaya Street of Kimry, Nadezhda Smirnova, previously asked to accept the power grid assets to the holding’s balance for subsequent servicing. Citizens were worried about the lack of proper control over the facility, which is under voltage in the immediate vicinity of private sector houses, as well as the frequent blackouts.
Exactly a week ago, Pavel Livinskiy immediately went to the Tver region and, following the results of the inspection of the substation and communication with the residents of Kommunalnaya Street, powered by this package transformer substation, instructed to exclude the ownerless facility from the city’s power supply circuit, replacing it with a new one.
Power engineers of Rosseti promptly completed a large-scale set of works. The employees planned the site for reinstalling the package transformer substation, the old dilapidated cable and overhead lines, as well as the package transformer substation itself, were dismantled. Instead of worn-out power equipment, the power engineers constructed a new package transformer substation, laid 20 m of a cable line of 10 kV, 70 m of a cable line of 0.4 kV, installed a 10 kV pole with a disconnector, constructed overhead lines of 0.4 and 10 kV with a length of 360 m and 40 m, respectively. The new package transformer substation is installed on a special foundation block, for which sand-gravel mixture was added. At the end of the work around the package transformer substation, a special fence was also mounted. Together with the transfer of the substation to an optimum distance from the homes of consumers, the fence will provide maximum safety for the residents of Kommunalnaya Street. The whole complex of repair measures was carried out by specialists of Rosseti Centre Tverenergo for 4 days. The result was a switchover of 23 houses in which about 100 consumers live, from old grids to new energy equipment installed by employees of the energy company.
Today, in the presence of the head of Rosseti Pavel Livinskiy and Governor of the Tver Region Igor Rudenya, the old dismantled package transformer substation was removed from the territory where the consumers lived.
“The Rosseti company is actively working to consolidate the country’s electricity grid assets,” stressed Pavel Livinskiy, Director General of Rosseti. “On the example of residents of a small city, we saw, on the one hand, the scale of the problem of ownerless facilities, and on the other, the importance of the joint work of the energy company with regional and municipal authorities to identify them. Only such an approach and coordination of our efforts will ensure the safety of operation and being close to power lines and substations, as well as reliable, high-quality power supply and consumer comfort.”
“Just a week ago, we met with residents of the city of Kimry. They requested the replacement of an ownerless worn transformer substation. Today we see that this request has been fulfilled, a new, modern substation has been installed, and reliable power supply has been provided for 150 people,” stressed Igor Rudenya following the inspection. “This is a small episode of our joint work to consolidate the region’s energy assets, which will significantly increase the reliability of power supply to enterprises, social facilities and residents of the Tver region.”
“I’m sure that the practice of taking ownerless facilities onto the balance, which by their existence pose a threat to the uninterrupted and trouble-free operation of the energy complex, will become systematic. We plan to carry out such events in all regions of the service area. Indeed, the company’s work plans include the implementation of large-scale digitalization projects, and, as a result, ensuring a qualitatively new level of reliability of power supply for each consumer in our country,” commented the head of Rosseti Centre and Rosseti Centre and Volga Region Igor Makovskiy on the installation of the package transformer substation.
