"The substation "Timiryazevskaya" is an important centre of power, it provides electricity to a large settlement - the village of Krasnosvobodnoe, social facilities, and residential customers. As a result of its comprehensive overhaul the transmission capacity of power equipment was significantly increased, the possibility of technological violations at low temperatures was minimized and, as a result - the quality of electricity supply to consumers was improved," underlines Head of the substation service of high-voltage grids Office of Tambovenergo Vitaly Belyaev.
