Ertil-Gorod transformer substation became the property of Voronezhenergo, an IDGC of Centre, JSC subsidiary, in 2006, and it was reconstructed within a year. Under ther reconstruction plan the workers replaced the one-chair overhead line the capacity of which had been exhausted, by a 35/10 kV two-chain overhead line with a length of 2.1.km and the reconstruction of Ertil-Raionnaya substation.

"Now in a two-chain variant we have a reliable connection between Ertil-Gorod and Ertil-Raionnaya substations, and, thus, we have improved the quality and reliability of electricity supply not only of the city, but of Ertil District," said Yury Yasheritsyn.

Within the limits of the plan of modernisation and reconstruction, in August and September, 2008, Voronezhenergo spent nine million roubles on reconstruction of Ertil-Gorod - Ertil-Raionnaya overhead line, one million roubles, on the repair of substations made by the power workers of Borisoglebsk Electric Networks production division. Having passed successfully a number of tests, on 14 October the overhead line and Ertil-Gorod substation were launched for technical exploitation.

The reconstruction of power facilities will allow to the district to increase fast power consumptions, develop, involve new investors and improve considerably the quality of electricity supply of the central, densely populated part of the city.
