Specialists of Labinskiy branch of the Company have installed about 500 modern meters in 18 villages, as well as in Labinsk, Kurganinsk, village Mostovskoy. They also replaced branches of service drop wires to houses using modern self-supporting insulated conductor. This new conductor is safe and reliable, it reduces electric energy losses, eliminates the risk of shirt circuit and unauthorized connection.

The system of smart metering is a set of modern digital devices that apart from metering has a lot of other functions. They allow customers to use the advantages of multi-tariffs metering, consumers can pay for electric energy in the night time much less than in the day time. Customers can save money using wall split air conditioners, washing and dishwashing machines in the night time.

Modern metering devices allow to protect home appliances from power supply voltage swing. The system automatically switches off the power supply in case of voltage surge, and after restoration of the power supply to its normal operation the system turns on the power supply.

Creating conditions for secure power supply of customers and decreasing of business losses in distribution networks are main goals of Kubanenergo in implementing actions on providing of un-interrupting and reliable power supply to customers.
