The Orenburgenergo Branch of Rosseti Volga, PJSC summed up the results of construction, reconstruction and technical re-equipment of the power grids.

For 12 months, energy workers carried out work at 1,250 objects. The length of the commissioned power transmission lines is more than 450 km, the volume of the commissioned transformer capacity is 39.5 MVA. facilities provided for by the 2020 investment program.

Among the largest projects is the construction of power grids to provide backup power to the broadcasting network facilities. The work was carried out in 29 districts of the Orenburg region. In total, energy workers have built over 88 km of 0.4–10 kV power transmission lines. Now the facilities of the TV and radio broadcasting network have two power sources, which significantly increases the reliability of their power supply.

Last year, the second stage of reconstruction of the 110/35/10 kV Selskaya substation was completed with the replacement of the power transformer, installation of new SF6 equipment, relay protection and automation devices, communication and telemechanics equipment. The reconstruction of substation equipment will eliminate the power shortage in normal and repair conditions. In addition, a reserve will appear in the region, which can be used to connect new consumers.

In the Novosergievsky district of the Orenburg region, the reconstruction of the base 110/35/10 kV Novosergievskaya substation has been completed, which provides power supply to more than 60 settlements, in which about 35 thousand people live. The transformer and switches have been replaced at the substation. New telemechanics equipment was installed for remote control of operations. The introduction of these devices will exclude the participation of personnel in switching operations, and will speed up the processes of localizing technological violations and equipment diagnostics. Reconstruction of the power facility has significantly increased the reliability of power supply to consumers in the Novosergievsky district, the operation of transit power lines, and will also contribute to the development of power supply grids for the oil complex.
