Power Engineers Detail Electricity Supply Improvements

Power engineers from Rosseti Ural have carried out work to improve electricity supply in the villages of Klyuchi and Malinovka in Sosnovsky District. As reported by the company, in Klyuchi, specialists built a new 300-meter overhead power transmission line and installed additional protection at a transformer substation. According to the engineers, this has normalized electricity supply to parts of Raboche-Krestyanskaya and Khvoynaya streets. A 50-meter line was also built to improve the situation on Yasnaya Street.

Company experts recalled that back in December, five new transformer substations were installed in the village of Klyuchi, and the capacity of three existing ones was increased.

Moreover, as explained by Rosseti Ural, raids to detect electricity theft are ongoing in the village. Currently, electricity supply has been cut off to eight consumers on Poletnaya and Vzletnaya streets due to unauthorized consumption. Inspections continue.

In the village of Malinovka, company employees conducted additional engineering inspections and thermal imaging control of power lines. As specialists assured, a plan of measures to ensure reliable electricity supply is currently being implemented.

For feedback, power engineers have created a separate channel. Residents of Klyuchi and Malinovka can ask questions to the dispatcher-informer by phone +7 902 602-01-30 or via the messenger Max.

According to company representatives, the problem with electricity quality is related to the rapid growth of individual residential construction in the district. As power engineers explained, during cold periods, residents often use electricity for heating, which leads to loads exceeding the declared connection capacities. For example, with an application for 5–10 kW, the actual consumption of a house with an electric boiler can reach 35 kW.

Rosseti Ural noted that, by law, the company cannot require applicants to provide design documentation for calculating prospective power needs or design power reserves without comprehensive applications.

Over the weekend, a meeting was held in the village of Malinovka between residents, power engineers, and government representatives. Company specialists informed about the current situation and work plans, and also answered questions.

As stated by the company, point-by-point network reconstruction temporarily solves the problem. The only way to fundamentally improve the situation, according to Rosseti Ural experts, is the centralization of heat supply and gasification of settlements.
