Moscow Household Energy Storage Power Supply Factory

Moscow's energy system is one of the largest and most far-reaching not only in Russia, but in the world. It includes 103,142 kilometres of power networks, 158 power centres and 20,093 transformer and distribution substations.

It includes 103,142 kilometres of power networks, 158 power centres and 20,093 transformer and distribution substations. Each year Moscow needs over 43 billion kW/h of electricity: the city is growing, with new districts, schools and offices being constructed. All of them need electricity, which means new supply centres.

The station also supplies one of the oldest Russian confectionary factories ‒ Bolshevik ‒ and the Pekin Hotel. Power supply has become even more reliable thanks to the up-to-date equipment: distribution machines with a capacity of 100 MVA and 80-MVA power transformers. Computerised control systems make the work easier and more comfortable.

The Magistralnaya ranks among the most powerful substations in Moscow (700 MVA), opened in 2011. It is also one of the largest closed-type supply centres in Europe. It provides electricity to the central part of the city, including the Moscow City business centre, as well as more than 250 facilities in six other administrative areas.

For example, the Belorusskaya power substation that was built last year and has a total capacity of 360 MVA is one of the main power centres in northern Moscow. More residential buildings, offices, companies and hospitals, including large ones, such as the Botkin and Filatov hospitals, now get more power.

Thanks to this, Russia rose from 184 th place to 10 th in the Getting Electricity category of the updated World Bank's Doing Business international ranking. Moscow's energy system is one of the largest and most far-reaching in the world. Every year, the city opens new energy facilities.
