Specialists of Rosseti Yug company (part of Rosseti Group) have connected the Bogdinskaya solar power plant (SPP) in the Astrakhan region to the electric grids. This was reported by the press service of the Group.
To create a scheme for issuing the SPP's capacity, the power engineers built overhead power lines and installed an emergency control system at four 110 kV substations.
The Astrakhan region is considered one of the sunniest regions in Russia (the average number of clear days is 200 per year). Bogdinskaya SPP will increase the share of "green" generation in the region's energy balance.
