An extended visiting meeting devoted to implementation of IDGC of North-West’s branches investment projects has passed in Pskov on March 18-19.

Pskov hosted an extended industrial meeting devoted to realization of investment projects in the branches of IDGC of North-West. It passed on the basis of Pskovenergo branch on March 18-19 with participation of representatives of all branches headed by Deputy General Director for capital construction of IDGC of North-West Vladimir Bloshchitsyn.

In 2009 the total amount of use of capital investments into the grid facilities of IDGC of North-West in money terms reached RUR 2,719.5 million that exceeded the indicators planned earlier and amounted 104% to the target.

The participants of the meeting considered a wide set of issues related to performance of the town-planning legislation of the Russian Federation at construction and reconstruction of network facilities, and to execution of engineering connection contracts.

The representatives of IDGC of North-West’s branches visited substation 110/10/6 kV No.53 in Pskov which is a priority object of Pskovenergo’s investment program for 2008-2011. For today the first stage of the large-scale reconstruction of the substation equipment has been completed. Seven 110 kV SF 6 circuit breakers made by Siemens have been installed during this stage, as well as the devices of relay protection and anti-emergency automatic equipment, HF communications, and telemechanics have been modernized.

Vladimir Bloshchitsyn drew everybody’s attention that for the whole period of carrying out reconstruction, the substation was operating, and a priority task was still reliable supply of electricity to consumers. Acknowledgement of the value of this object for the region is the workload of substation No.53 “Pskov” last winter. In days of the peak electricity consumption it was around 150 MW. At the same time as a whole the maximal loading in Pskovenergo’s grids did not exceed 400 MW. 

The total budget cost of the substation reconstruction amounts to approximately RUR 427 million (VAT excluded).
