In the Vitebsk region, about 1.7 thousand rural facilities will be equipped with automated electricity control systems
Before "Vitebskenergo", as well as other energy systems of the country, the task has been set to integrate the metering devices of outdoor lighting facilities, which are on the balance sheet of RUP-oblenenergo, into automated systems for control and accounting of electric energy (ASKUE) in rural settlements. In 2023, this work was completed at 1713 facilities. This was announced at a press conference by the head of the consumer relations department of RUP "Vitebskenergo" Georgy Gribunov. According to him, in 2024, it is planned to equip another 1664 facilities with ASKUE. In addition, the issue of using electricity by the population for heating and hot water supply remains relevant, noted Georgy Gribunov:
— The interest of citizens in this issue is not weakening. For comparison, from the end of 2018 to the beginning of 2024, the population's energy consumption increased by more than 130 million kWh. At the same time, the share of electricity consumption by citizens at reduced tariffs for electricity for heating and hot water supply reached more than 16 percent of the total population consumption. This is significant.
As of the beginning of this year, more than 13.5 thousand subscribers in the northern region use electricity for similar purposes. This includes not only single-family houses but also apartment buildings.
From December 2, 2023, Decree of the President of May 30, 2023 No. 155 came into force, which simplified the procedure for transferring to the balance of energy companies power grids directly connected to the power grids of energy supply organizations from horticultural associations. There are more than 300 of the latter in the Vitebsk region. The acceptance of high-voltage networks with a capacity of 10 kW is carried out by "Vitebskenergo" according to their actual condition, Georgy Gribunov noted:
— Even before the Decree No. 155 was issued, our enterprise took over almost all such networks. The main condition for this is the presence of an external metering device. As for the transfer of low-voltage networks to us, if all members of the horticultural association have decided at a general meeting to transfer the low-voltage electrical networks to the ownership of the Republic of Belarus, then it is necessary to prepare for the fulfillment of certain mandatory conditions. Thus, citizens and the association must provide energy companies with access for servicing these networks. The latter must meet the requirements of technical regulatory acts. External metering devices must be installed without fail on both individual households (outside the land plots) and common areas - at the water intake.ачках, линиях наружного освещения и т. д. В качестве выносных приборов учета могут использоваться сплит-счетчики. Организация выносных учетов, как и приведение в порядок линий электропередачи в случае необходимости осуществляется за счет граждан.
