Hotline of power engineering specialists:
Specialists of IDGC of Centre - Voronezhenergo division completed a set of works on connection to the electric grid of three new cell towers in Rossoshansky district of the Voronezh region. The new base stations will provide wireless communication and the possibility of using high-speed Internet in remote villages of the district - Krinichnoe, Tsapkovo and Aleynikovo, as well as in the adjacent territory. To ensure their power supply, the power company constructed about 500 metres of 0.4-10 kV power lines, installed 28 additional poles, as well as a pole-mounted transformer substation.
The installation of cellular communication equipment in these settlements is carried out within the framework of the regional project "Development of communication services in hard-to-reach settlements" and the state program "Information society", whose goal is to develop infrastructure to provide residents with access to socially important information, and expand the wireless network in areas with low population density or difficult terrain. According to the project, Voronezhenergo’s specialists were to complete grid connection of new towers to electric grids in September 2018. However, given the high social importance of the measures being implemented, the power company made every effort to do this in the shortest possible time. As a result, the whole set of works was completed in July.
