“Samara Distribution Grids”, a branch of IDGC of Volga PJSC (a member of Rosseti), continues implementation of the current year repair program. The activities that include repair of the power grid facilities of all voltage classes will allow to ensure regular operation of power facilities, reduce the technical wear and tear of equipment and provide reliable and high-quality power supply to consumers.

Due to the fact that Samara hosted the World Football Championship, the works were divided into 2 parts – before and after the Championship, that did not affect the repair works – all the activities are implemented in accordance with the approved program and in strict accordance with the schedules. To date, power engineers performed the works on 396 transformer substations, replaced 9 km of overhead ground-wire cable and 3.2 km of wire on 0.4-110 kV overhead lines, repaired 164 switches, replaced 6,800 insulators.

In addition, power transformers, disconnectors, substation transformers, switches, etc. have been repaired. Approximately 700 ha of overhead line glades have been cleared. In total, 277 million Rubles have been allocated for implementation of the repair program this year. All the repair works should be completed by the staff of the Samara Distribution Networks by the end of September.
