For six months the financing scope has exceeded RUR 200 mln, thereby more than half this sum has used by an economic way.

According to the plans of the program the routes of 35-220 kV overhead lines (OL) have been cleared off, more than 3,700 insulators have been substituted at an area of more than 230 ha. Favorable summer weather conditions are made use of; the power engineers of the Eastern Moscow region are gaining steadily the repair work tempos. Towards the beginning of August 19 power transformers were repaired, including those at the substations: #194 “Kislorodnaya” in Balashikha distribution zone, # 767 “Zuevo” in Orekhovo-Zuevo distribution zone, #797 “Diesel” in Kolomna distribution zone.

Over 60 km of the wire were also substituted on the low-voltage lines, among them more than half the wire – was self-supporting insulating wire (SSIW). 4 km of the cable lines and 567 poles were substituted, and over 200 transformer substations were repaid.

Currently the repair works are being continued actively. The fulfillment of the primary work scopes should be completed towards the 1st of October if the current year. The gained high tempo of the works gives surety that they will be fulfilled with good quality and in term.
