JSC FGC UES will construct facilities to provide for Boguchanskaya HPP power output on schedule

One of the main topics for discussion was the progress in constructing facilities to provide for the hydropower plant power output in Krasnoyarskiy Territory of Russia.
JSC FGC UES Branch – Backbone electric grids (MES) of Siberia – carries out construction and reconstruction of facilities 220 kV and also acts as a technical agent for constructing facilities of 500 kV in order to provide for Boguchanskaya HPP power output. All works on the mentioned grid facilities are planned to be completed by the end of 2010. Currently the construction is carried out strictly in accordance with actualized schedules and plans.
Under the Federal Grid Company investment program in Krasnoyarsk Territory it is planned to construct gas-insulated switchgear and control gear 220 kV at Boguchanskaya HPP and substation 220 kV Priangarskaya and also reconstruct the existing substation 220 kV Razdolinskaya. These power facilities will connect two high-voltage transmission lines each having length of 301 km crossing difficult of access taiga territories of Kezhem, Boguchansk and Motygino district of the region. New lines will provide for power transmission to Boguchanskaya HPP and industrial entities of Lower Angara districts which are currently under construction. Today new production buildings are being erected, power equipment is being installed at substations as well as power transmission towers are being constructed and wiring is being arranged on the power transmission lines.
In the capacity of technical agent MES of Siberia supervises reconstruction of substation 500 kV Kamala, construction of substation 500 kV Angara and power transmission lines 500 kV Boguchanskaa HPP – Angara ad Angara – Kamala. The new power transmission lines have the length of 506 km. they will cross Kezhema, Boguchansk, Nizhny Ingash, Ilan, Aban and Kan districts of Krasnoyarsk Territory. As of today foundation installation, assembling and erecting of transmission towers and wiring is under completion. Interior finishing works are conducted in new buildings at the substations; power equipment installation is in progress including new controllable shunt reactors designed to regulate voltage level at load centers, compensate for excessive charging capacity and reduce power losses at substation.
