In the first six months, the specialists of Slavyansk branch of Rosseti Kuban repaired 575 km of overhead lines of different voltages and over 210 transformer substations in Slavyansk, Temryuk and Krasnoarmeisky districts of the region. The volume of work on the repair programme in 2019 in comparison with the previous year has increased more than 2.5 times.

Since the beginning of the year, our teams have cleared more than 16 thousand hectares of high-voltage routes from trees and vegetation in Slavyansk, Temryuk and Krasnoarmeisky districts. The branch has also replaced damaged ground wire and defective insulators, and checked and where necessary repaired disconnectors and switches in strict accordance with the schedule. All this will protect power lines from possible effects of changeable weather and heavy weather conditions.

Timur Glushko, Dpeuty Director General for Special Projects and Head of Slavyansk branch, said: “We are making great efforts to minimize the risk of disruptions in power supply. But at the same time we are not limited to purely technical events. Our branch regularly conducts emergency response trainings, where employees work out actions in the event of abnormal or emergency situations. We are doing everything possible to ensure our equipment and personnel provide uninterrupted power supply to consumers.”
