The speakers talked about the prospective plans for the reconstruction of 0.4-10 kV overhead power transmission lines, which are on the balance of power supply organizations, about the sources of financing for these works, as well as about new tariff groups for the population for electricity for heating, heating and hot water supply.
In his speech, Vladimir Bobrov noted: “The use of electric energy for the needs of heating, hot water supply and food preparation is a very urgent issue for many citizens living in areas of individual residential development. There has been a significant increase in the number of citizens' applications wishing to use electric energy in individual residential buildings for heating and hot water supply. For the period starting from 2019 and including the 1st quarter of this year, the energy supplying organizations that are part of the State Production Association "Belenergo" received 47,550 requests for the issuance of technical specifications for the connection of electrical installations of residential buildings to electrical networks in order to use electrical energy for heating and hot water. water supply, of which 35,288 or 74% were satisfied,
Viktor Zhitkevich told about electricity tariffs: “In 2020, more than 10 thousand subscribers switched to settlements for electricity tariffs for heating, heating and hot water supply. In total, at present, more than 16 thousand household subscribers are calculating electricity tariffs for these purposes (Minsk and Minsk region - 5.3 thousand, Vitebsk region - 4 thousand, Mogilev region - 2.3 thousand, Grodno region - 1.9 thousand, Brest region - 1.7 thousand, Gomel region - 1 thousand).
From May 1, 2021, the category of consumers has been expanded, who have been given the opportunity to make payments for consumed electricity at a subsidized tariff using a coefficient of 0.85. For a new category of consumers, a reduction factor to the subsidized tariff is applied to electricity consumed in May 2021, payment for which is made until June 25, 2021. in accordance with the established procedure, a centralized heat supply system for heating purposes, a centralized gas supply system or an individual cylinder installation for supplying liquefied hydrocarbon gas for food preparation and are not equipped in the prescribed manner with electric stoves,
Answering journalists' questions, Vladimir Bobrov said: “The possibility of using electric energy for these purposes directly depends on the availability of the throughput of 0.4-10 kV overhead electrical networks. If at present there is no technical possibility to connect an additional electrical load to the electric network, the branches of Electric Networks of RUE-oblenergo issue a refusal to issue technical specifications and at the same time keep records of citizens' appeals for the subsequent decision-making on the feasibility of reconstruction (comprehensive reconstruction) of existing electrical networks.
As of the beginning of 2021, the total length of 0.4-10 kV overhead power grids at the Belenergo State Production Association is more than 200 thousand km. The standard service life of these networks is 33 years. To reduce the wear of the 0.4-10 kV network and create conditions for increasing the use of electrical energy by consumers, an annual construction (reconstruction) of about 2,700 km of 0.4-10 kV electrical networks is required. All regional power supply organizations have drawn up and agreed with other bodies five-year plans for the reconstruction of 0.4-10 kV electrical networks. The reconstruction plans included settlements in which the electrical networks are morally and physically worn out. In the period from 2021 to 2025, it is planned to allocate about 1.5 billion rubles for the reconstruction of 0.4-10 kV overhead power grids,
Currently, draft regulatory legal acts have been prepared and are being approved, according to which citizens interested in the reconstruction of electrical networks that do not have 100% wear and tear will be given the opportunity to participate in financing reconstruction works. "
Vladimir Bobrov also shared the news that for the first time distribution networks with a nominal voltage of 20 kV will be designed and built in Minsk , this will reduce electricity losses and increase the throughput of distribution electrical networks, that is, ensure the possibility of using electricity, including for heating and hot water supply.
