Cleaning of 1, 6 thousand hectares will be carried out by contractors.
During the repair program, the special attention should be paid to fire prevention measures. This order gave the deputy chief engineer for maintenance and repair of “Pskovenergo” Andrei Kuzmin, during a conference call with the heads of technical units of production departments.

Clearing of firebreaks is one of the main measures aimed at improving the reliability of electricity supply to consumers. According to statistics, the largest number of outages occurs because of falling trees on power lines.

 To "Pskovenergo" traditionally occur most large volumes of clearing firebreaks in comparison with other branches of “IDGC North-West”. So, as part of the repair program in 2011, “Pskovenergo» will carry out the clearing of 3,5 hectares routes of transmission lines of all voltage classes. Cleaning of 1, 6 thousand hectares will be carried out by contractors.
