The Penzaenergo branch of Rosseti Volga (a brand of IDGC of Volga, PJSC) summed up the work on technological connection (TC) to the power grids for the 1st quarter of 2020.

For 3 months, the branch connected 322 individuals and 255 legal entities to the networks. For this purpose, 24 km of distribution grids of 6–10/0.4 kV, 32 transformer substations of 6–10/0.4 kV with a total capacity of 5.43 MVA were built and reconstructed. The total capacity of the connected facilities of new consumers amounted to 14.76 MW.

Among the new facilities connected to the branch networks are a manufacturing enterprise in the Gorodishchensky district (1.6 MW), power facilities for providing electricity to multi-story residential buildings in the Penza district (2.9 MW), etc. The feldsher-midwife stations in the Neverkinsky and Tamalinsky areas of the region were provided with electricity.

The TC of consumers is carried out in the shortest possible time, which forms a favorable investment climate in the region for both the manufacturing sector and the enterprises of the agro-industrial complex.

In total, for the first 3 months of 2020, Penzaenergo customer service centers and centers registered 1984 applications, of which 712 were applications for transformer substations to the branch's power grids. During this period, 441 TC agreements were concluded. The total declared capacity was 57 MW.

In order to prevent acute respiratory viral infections from 18.03.2020, customer service is carried out only remotely. At the same time, the demand for the company's services does not show a downward trend.

The main tools for filing applications for technological connection on-line are the Internet resource of the Rosseti Group of Companies (ïîðòàë-òï.ðô), a personal account on the Rosseti Volga website (https://www.mrsk-volgi.ru), mobile Rosseti – Personal Account application (iOS and Android).
