This year, the power engineers of the Samara Grids branch of Rosseti Volga (a brand of IDGC of Volga, PJSC) will repair 92 substations (SS) of 35–110 kV. The work will be implemented as part of the annual repair program and the preparation of power facilities for the autumn-winter period of 2020-2021.

Regardless of external factors, all planned work and activities critical to the needs of the regions should be completed in full and in strict accordance with the schedule. This was repeatedly emphasized by the Head of the Rosseti Group of Companies, Pavel Livinsky, in the framework of the meetings of the Headquarters of the electric grid complex.

Most of the 35–110 kV power facilities of the Samara Grids branch are the main supply centers for the municipal regions and the settlements located in them. Fulfillment of the planned repair work efficiently and on time is one of the key factors to increase the reliability of power supply to consumers – more than 3.1 million residents of the region, as well as social facilities, agricultural enterprises, machine-building and fuel and energy complexes.

Currently, a comprehensive repair of equipment is underway at the 35 kV Khvorostyanka substation in the Khvorostyansky district, the 110 kV Zapadnaya substation in the Tolyatti municipality, 110 kV Chapaevskaya substation in the Chapaevsky district, 110 kV Alekseevka substation in the Alekseevsky district, 110 kV Podbelskaya Ptitsefabrika in the Pohvistnevsky district and others.

In the near future, equipment repair will begin at the 110 kV Pokhvistnevo-2 substation in the Pokhvistnevsky district, Privolzhye and Obsharovka in the Volga district, Neftegorskaya-1 in the Neftegorsky district, Bolshaya Glushitsa in the Bolsheglushitsky district, Maryevka in the Pestravsky district, etc. Repair and replacement of the main equipment of open and closed switchgear, repair of transformers, high-voltage bushings, current and voltage transformers, bus sections will be carried out at power facilities.
