Specialists of Volgogradenergo, a branch of PJSC Rosseti South, connected a new paramedical and midwifery station in the village of Kachalinskaya, Ilovlinsky District, to the Company's power grids.

GRID CONNECTION

The Company completed the grid connection of new apartment complexes in the Tractorozavodsky, Dzerzhinsky, Tsentralny and Sovetsky districts.

To connect two houses in the Tractorozavodsky district, power engineers laid over 4 kilometres of cable transmission lines. Eight poles were changed to connect four houses in the Sovietsky district. In Angarskoye settlement of the Dzerzhinsky district, two more houses were connected: 400 m of cable power lines were built for one of them, and grid connection was made for the second one. A 400 kVA transformer substation was built in the Tsentralny District for a new residential complex on Selenginskaya Street.

The difference in the figures is associated with closing of revenue volumes above the forecasted values for grid connection categories of up to 150 kW, for which a number of applicants are subject to 100% payment for ‘last mile’ arrangements from 1 January 2023.
