📋 Tender Overview
Modernization of lighting has been completed in the city of Korkino and surrounding villages. Rostelecom specialists installed more than 2,200 modern lamps under an energy service contract. These lamps are more economical and reliable, and can operate in a temperature range from -60 °C to +40 °C.
Smart lamps can independently regulate the intensity of lighting depending on the time of day and weather conditions. The new lighting system will contribute to comfort and safety on roads and streets, while the city budget's costs for electricity will be significantly reduced.
Evgeny Makagonov, Director of the Chelyabinsk branch of Rostelecom:
"The modernization will ensure uniform and high-quality lighting of the streets of Korkino and nearby villages. All work was completed in nine months - ahead of the deadline specified in the contract. Rostelecom specialists dismantled 1,995 old street lamps, installed energy-saving LED lamps, control cabinets with an automated electricity consumption metering system, and replaced uninsulated wires and emergency street lighting supports."
The main feature of the new lamps is controlled energy consumption, which will allow saving up to 70% of the city budget on electricity costs in the future.
Alexander Orel, head of the Korkinsky municipal district:
"In the long term, the project will significantly reduce the municipality's energy costs. New lighting has appeared not only in Korkino, but also in the settlements of Pervomaysky, Roza, Saksan, as well as the villages of Dubrovka and Shumaki. Smart lights will illuminate more than 300 streets."
The Chelyabinsk Region is the leader in the Ural Federal District in terms of the number of cities and towns where intelligent energy-saving technologies have been implemented. Rostelecom has been implementing the Digital Region project in the Southern Urals since 2016 and has installed modern lighting fixtures in more than 40 settlements, including the largest cities in the region: Chelyabinsk, Magnitogorsk and Miass.
