Since the morning of the 8th of January of 2011, 232 teams of power engineers with the total number of 1204 people have begun to work on reliable power supply recovery of Moscow region. Emergency recovery teams are formed of the specialists of JSC “MOESK” and the specialists who have come to help them from other operating companies of IDGC Holding, and also from JSC “UES FGC” and those from contractor organizations. 185 special vehicles are engaged in the work.

They face a task to put into service power transmission lines providing the backup of feeding centers. Reliability of power supply of consumers is stipulated to be increased by it.

Today they will perform works at 10 power transmission lines by 35 kv, at one 110 kv and one 220 kv power transmission lines which are staying disconnected in branches of JSC “MOESK” – Western, Southern and Eastern electric grids and at one 35 kv substation (Western electric grids).

Totally over 200 power transmission lines, over 120 substations with the voltage of 35-220 kv, over 9,5 thousand 6-10/0,4 kv transformer substations have been recovered in Moscow region after abnormal natural elements. Over 50 thousand of forest ranges have been taken off the power transmission lines. It has made it possible to eliminate a threat of cutout due-to short circuits at the corresponding areas, caused by trees falling down under the icing mound’s weight. At the assessment of the Department of Energy of RF, the native power industry have come across for the first time with such a scale of faults and such volume of recovery arrangements under the natural factor’s influence.
