Power engineers of the Samara Grids branch of Rosseti Volga (a brand of IDGC of Volga, PJSC) are carrying out large-scale repair work in the Neftegorsky district of the Samara region.

The annual maintenance and repair program included two 110 kV substations – Neftegorskaya-1 and Neftegorskaya-2, as well as several overhead power lines (OL). These are the main supply centers of the Neftegorsky district, which supply electricity to local oil and gas enterprises. They are also necessary to create a reliable backup power scheme. The implementation of technical measures will prepare power equipment for the future autumn-winter period and ensure uninterrupted power supply to consumers in the municipal region.

As part of the planned work, current repairs of the main equipment – power transformers, voltage transformers, surge arresters, current-limiting reactors, disconnectors, current transformers, etc. will be carried out at each of the substations. In addition, the buildings of general substation control centers will be repaired, and at the 110 kV Neftegorskaya-2 substation, a closed switchgear and an auxiliary building.

In addition, the power industry will provide mechanized clearing of the glades of overhead lines with a voltage of 6 and 110 kV. A 6 kV overhead line will also include scheduled maintenance.

In total, about 3.5 million rubles were allocated for all work on the current repair of the Neftegorsky district power complex in the Samara region.
