Specialists of Rosseti Centre performed architectural lighting of two high-voltage poles of the 110 kV line “Kostroma-1 - Tsentralnaya” at the crossing over the Volga river in Kostroma. The grid facilities are lighted in the colours of the Russian flag. 1,092 LED lighting fixtures of white, blue and red colours are used for power supply.
The work was carried out on behalf of Igor Makovskiy, General Director of Rosseti Centre, and became a kind of the final of the modernization of the city’s outdoor lighting.
In total, the process of modernization of the city’s lighting covered more than 700 streets of Kostroma, as well as 16 parks and squares. The work was carried out by 21 crews of the Kostroma branch of Rosseti Centre, consisting of 100 people. New digital and energy saving technologies were applied in the project. Automation and load control systems made it possible to remotely configure the operation of individual points, adjust the intensity of the luminous flux. Thanks to this, the optimal operating mode of the system was selected as quickly as possible, and its reliability reached a fundamentally new level. The modernization will increase the service life of the equipment, reduce energy consumption and the costs of the municipality for paying for electricity.
“The modernization project we have implemented is the largest in the history of the Kostroma region. 11.5 obsolete lighting fixtures in Kostroma were replaced with modern, energy-efficient ones. An automated street lighting system was put into operation. We made a gift to the city, which, thanks to the new lighting, has become more comfortable and safer. I think that the decorated poles will become a new symbol of Kostroma, a reminder to residents and guests of the city about the glorious work of power engineers and the anniversary date - the 100th anniversary of the GOELRO plan,” stressed Igor Makovskiy.
