One of criteria was compliance with the corporate branding and identity guidelines established for production facilities of IDGC of Volga, PJSC (color schemes for buildings and structures, design of signage/nameplates). Power facilities were assessed by assigning scores for technical condition and appearance of each unit of equipment. At Algashy substation, there are two power transformers in operation, with the total capacity of 8.8 MVA. All nameplates for electrical installations meet the corporate brand identity and style guidelines. Preparations for participation in the contest lasted from May 1 till October 1 (during the period of large-scale repair and maintenance operations). Such schedule contributes to bringing the technical and aesthetical condition of substations in conformity with the requirements of the applicable regulatory documents in the course of repairs and technical maintenance.
