Under the schedule, 75km of HV lines were repaired, precisely: about 7 thousand insulators and 25km of ground wire were replaced, 43km of wire were replaced with the one of higher transmitting capacitance.

Within the frameworks of modernization of grid in rural settlements more than 300 km of 0.4/6-10kV overhead lines and 24 transformer stations were repaired. To prevent power disturbances during strong winds our teams cleared 650 hectares of the protected zones of line routes from trees and bushes.
