Energy modernization is being completed on Russky Island – Rossiyskaya Gazeta
For almost a year in Vladivostok, which in November 2020 suffered from freezing rain, the communal infrastructure has been restored. The most ambitious work is going on on the Russky Island and in the Pervomaisky district of the city, whose residents have been sitting without electricity and heat for almost two weeks.
On Russkoye, due to frozen ice, wooden power transmission lines collapsed. Many of them were installed in the 60-70s of the last century, partially rotted and kept, as they say, on which there was still not enough for a stable power supply.
To date, the specialists of the Oboronenergo company, in charge of the infrastructure, have completely reconstructed the kilowatt network, built new power lines, replaced hundreds of poles with concrete ones, and put into operation ring power supply circuits for consumers. In the fall, the power engineers were transferred from the backup line to the main house in the Podnozhie village. There, due to low voltage, the elevators worked intermittently in the only nine-story building on the island. “The reconstruction of input switchgears in houses continues, metering devices and security zones of power facilities are being installed,” the company said.
According to the Minister of Energy of Primorye Andrei Leontiev.
Work is in full swing in the Pervomaisky district of the city of Vladivostok – perhaps no less than Russky suffered. Now the builders are laying an underground power line bypassing the Sea Cemetery to ensure the reliability of the district’s power supply. This year, the section between the Patroclus and Ulysses substations is being reconstructed with a cable version. And in the summer, a 35 kilowatt cable line was completed and is already operating – from the Lugovaya substation to the Churkin substation.
