For the reconstruction of the 110 kV Verninskaya substation, the LLC “SPECENERGO” will manufacture and install a 110/6 kV mobile modular substation (MMS).

MMS with a voltage of 110/6 kV and capacity of 25 MVA will be used as the main source of electricity for consumers of Verninsky GOK gold mine and processing plant during the reconstruction of the 110 kV Verninskaya substation. Thanks to the MMS, power supply will be organized according to a temporary scheme, which will allow to conduct the reconstruction of the 110 kV Verninskaya substation without completely disconnecting the consumers. The reconstruction of the 110 kV Verninskaya substation is associated with an increase in the capacity of the Verninsky GOK gold mine and processing plant by 27.9 MW and the connection of the second 110 kV high – voltage line (HVL) Kropotkinskaya-Verninskaya No. 2
