From the beginning of 2015 the South-Western branch of “Kubanenergo” PJSC has cleared 42 hectares of trees and shrubs near high-voltage power lines. All these works were implement as part of repair programme which is aimed to increase quality and reliability of power supply to customers and preparation to autumn-winter period in five districts of Krasnodar region: Gelendzhikskiy, Novorossiyskiy, Anapskiy, Abinskiy and Krymskiy.

At the moment workers are cutting vegetation near 110kV high voltage lines “Gelendzhik-Praskoveevka” and “Krymskaya-Gelendzhik” that supply to more than 36 thousand customers of Gelendzhik and village Praskoveevka of Krasnodar region with electric energy.

Clearing and widening of forest corridors of high voltage lines including cutting of trees are integral part of Company’s activity on preparation to autumn-winter period. Trees can cause power supply interruption, fire and injuries to third parties. The highest risk of trees falling on power lines appears due to unfavourable weather conditions – strong wind and freezing.
