As part of the regional program of socio-economic development of the Belgorod region in 2017 it is scheduled to reconstruct 10-0.4 kV distribution networks with their total length of about 659 km with an increase in transformer capacity of 87 MVA. As a result, the reliability of electricity supply to consumers will be improved and there will be possibility of connection to Belgorodenergo's grids.

This year about 1 billion rubles will be allocated for grid connection of consumers. Among the most significant investment projects are the complex reconstruction and transfer to the voltage of 110 kV of the substation 'Malinovka' in Rakityansky district of the Belgorod region. It powers the agro-industrial holding 'BEZRK Belgrankorm', the power consumption of which in the next year or two may grow significantly. In addition, it is planned to provide energy another dozen of large-scale agricultural producers.

Every year IDGC of Centre spends 2 billion investment funds only in the Belgorod region on electricity supply of newly connected agricultural enterprises, providing them with the customer contract demand and the necessary grid infrastructure.

In recent years IDGC of Centre has connected a number of large facilities. Among these there are production sites of 'PromAgro' at Stary Oskol - the largest producer of pork in the Black Earth Region, and the meat supplier to the country's market. For new and existing businesses of 'PromAgro' over 15 kilometers of lines were constructed and six transformer substations were commissioned. As a result, today the company on the whole consumes around 6 MW. And in the plans - the further development of production.

The grid connected pig farm Korocha of the agricultural holding 'Miratorg' is a member of the state program of agricultural development and produces at the national level up to 12% of primary meat processing per year. The company takes more than 14 MW. In the same Korochansky district last year power was supplied to a dairy farm of 'Green Dale' Group of Companies. Another will be connected this year. Routine consumption of each is up to 1.2 MW. The same year it is planned to reconstruct the main feeding centre - the 110 kV substation 'Sheino'.

But one of the biggest for IDGC of Centre, as well as for the region and the country as a whole, was the commissioning of the amino acid plant of 'Prioskolie' Group of Companies in Shebekinsky district of the Belgorod region. This is the first in Russia high-tech enterprise of such specialization, closing 60% of the needs of livestock farmers in the country's lysine import. According to the grid connection agreement IDGC of Centre constructed the large 110 kV substation 'Nezhegol' and a set of infrastructure facilities. The volume of investments amounted to 744 million rubles, and in the spring of 2014 the facility was already put into operation.
