Шесть ключевых объектов электроснабжения введут в эксплуатацию для расширения Восточного полигона железных дорог

This will increase traffic volumes

Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin has launched six of the seven key power supply facilities of the second stage of the Eastern Railway Range expansion. In 2023, PJSC Rosseti completed the power supply for the first stage, and in 2024, another six facilities are planned to be put into operation.

The new power grid infrastructure will provide the Baikal-Amur and Trans-Siberian railways with an additional capacity of 1,700 megawatts. This will increase the volume of freight traffic.

The new facilities will increase the reliability of power supply to existing consumers and create opportunities for technological connection of new consumers in Buryatia, Yakutia, Irkutsk and Amur regions, as well as in the Trans-Baikal and Khabarovsk territories. Key industrial facilities with access to the new infrastructure will be the Kovykta gas condensate field, gold deposits (Sukhoi Log, Chertovo Koryto, Svetlovskoye, Tabornoe, Solovyevsky mine), the third stage of the Irkutsk Polymer Plant and coal deposits (Syllakhskoye and Inaglinsky GOK). Conditions will also be created to increase the capacity of the Eastern Siberia - Pacific Ocean export pipeline system.

The Prime Minister's press service noted that the new power grid infrastructure of PJSC Rosseti is key to fulfilling the President's instruction to unite the energy systems of the Far East and Siberia.
