The head of one of the largest industrial enterprises in the Orel region thanks the head of the energy company for the fruitful cooperation in the implementation of measures for grid connection and commissioning of the 110/10/6 kV substation "Livgidromash", which provides power for a new production facility for manufacture of pumps for oil refining and oil products transportation.

This facility is an important element in the implementation by JSC "HMS Group" of the large investment project "Localization of production of pumps for oil refining, as well as high power pumps for transportation of oil/oil products" aimed at solving the state problems on import substitution. The Orel branch of IDGC of Centre provided the necessary power supply for it in the amount of 15 MW. Work on connecting the enterprise to the grid of Orelenergo lasted during the first quarter of 2016 and already in early April, after the successful completion of the necessary tests, the "Livgidromash" substation equipment was put into operation. In the near future the plant plans to commission new capacity. Work on the second stage of the grid connection process is to be implemented in 2017.

"Employees of IDGC of Centre - Orelenergo division showed high professionalism, conscientious attitude to performance of goals and objectives set. The effective cooperation between our organizations ensured timely commissioning of power installations of JSC "HMS Livgidromash"," stresses in his message Anatoly Dvoryadkin, expressing in conclusion the hope for further constructive cooperation between JSC "HMS Livgidromash" and IDGC of Centre.

In the Belgorod region in the past year IDGC of Centre connected to the grid an agricultural facility of LLC "Greenhouse Facility of Belogorie" - the largest supplier of vegetables and herbs in the Central Federal District with the capacity of 11 thousand tons of vegetables a year. This project is part of a large-scale regional program for the development of the greenhouse cluster, which is designed for construction in the region of 500 hectares of greenhouses by 2020. And in the first quarter of this year, the company supplied power to a greenhouse facility "Agropark", built as part of the import substitution program in the Kursk region. The volume of vegetable production at the new plant will be 6.6 million tons per year, and it is expected that with reaching the designed capacity the region will be fully provided with greenhouse vegetables.

In 2016 IDGC of Centre continues to participate in major projects of federal and regional significance in the field of import substitution, support for agribusiness and the food industry, housing development, road and industrial infrastructure construction. Confirming its status as one of the key drivers of development of the regions of its service area, the company makes a significant contribution to their socio-economic growth.
