Power engineers of Rosseti Center increased the capacity of the substation in the Smolensk region

As part of the investment program, the Rosseti Centre branch – Smolenskenergo completed a large-scale modernization of the 35/6 kV substation in the Smolensk District. The facility was commissioned in 1979 and reached the maximum load limit, which limited the ability to connect new subscribers.

During the modernization, carried out in two stages, two new power transformers with a capacity of 10 MVA each were installed. Power engineers installed modern introductory high-voltage switches and prefabricated 6 kV tires with increased throughput, as well as modern dry transformers of their own needs.

The work carried out made it possible to increase the reliability of power supply to about five thousand residents of the district and create the necessary power reserve.

Currently, housing construction is actively underway in the service area of the substation: 26 apartment buildings are planned to be commissioned within 10 years. In addition, a three-storey technoschool with 726 seats is being built, next to which a stadium will appear.
