Historical Background: 

  • The history of the Cable Grid began on December 30, 1883, when the first 32 lanterns between the Admiralty Bridge and Anichkov Bridge were lit. The power plant that supplied the lanterns with power was located on a wooden barge moored to the shore of the Moika River at the Police Bridge. 
  • By the early 1920s, there were some 1,000 kilometers of high- voltage, three-phase current lines, 800 kilometers of single-phase current lines, and 280 miles of low voltage lines in Saint Petersburg. 
  • In 1926, a 71-kilometer-long 35-kV cable ring was put into operation. 
  • In 1931, the country's first underwater 35-kV cable line was laid across the Gulf of Finland. 
  • In 1980, the first automated dispatch control system was introduced.
