MRSK Tsentra : Lipetskenergo performs routine repairs

Summer for power engineers of IDGC of Centre - Lipetskenergo division is traditionally the period of large-scale maintenance work needed to ensure the reliability of power supply to consumers.

For safety during routine repairs and reconstruction of power facilities electricity supply to consumers is temporarily restricted. At the same schedules of power outages are formed in advance and coordinated with the municipal authorities, the territorial divisions of EMERCOM and large consumers. All socially significant facilities for the duration of the work are powered by the backup power supply circuit.

When planning repairs power engineers try to take into account interests of inhabitants of the region. Electricity supply is interrupted mainly in the afternoon hours, when the majority of consumers is at work. To prevent damage from power surges when power is restored the power engineers recommend customers to turn off all electrical appliances and electrical equipment.

For the convenience of consumers schedules of power outages in the networks of Lipetskenergo indicating facilities and timing of outages are published monthly on the website of IDGC of Centre at www.mrsk-1.ru on the main page in the section "Power outage", as well as on official websites of administrations of municipal districts.

Information about planned outages can also be obtained by calling the free direct line of power engineers at 8 800 50 50 115, at Distribution Zones and Customer Service Centres - in Lipetsk, Yelets and Dankov.
