Moscow Cable Company Shield to Supply 4 km of Busbar Trunking for Units 3 and 4 of Leningrad NPP Phase II

Moscow Cable Company (Shield) will supply four kilometers of transmission lines for the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant. The company will manufacture 10 kV and 24 kV generator voltage transmission lines for Units 3 and 4 of Leningrad NPP Phase II. These transmission lines meet the highest reliability and safety requirements of the nuclear industry and are equipped with current transformers and voltage transformers produced by Cable Shield Company.

The transmission lines will be manufactured at the enterprise in the city of Kovrov, where new production capacity for cable trays was built last year. Currently, the plant's annual production capacity reaches 12,000 meters of cable trays. According to statistics, over 400,000 meters of transmission lines and busbar trunking produced by the company have been put into operation and are successfully operating in various regions of Russia, CIS countries, and some overseas countries.

Nikolay Shemyakin, General Director of Moscow Cable Company, stated that participation in nuclear energy projects, particularly the Leningrad NPP project, is one of the priority directions of the company's strategy. The company possesses years of experience and technical capabilities to provide reliable domestically produced equipment for critical energy facilities, meeting the most stringent industry standards.

The Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant is one of the largest nuclear power plants in Russia by installed capacity (over 4,370 MW) and is the only one in the country where two types of reactors — RBMK-1000 and VVER-1200 — operate at the same site. Construction of Units 3 and 4 of Leningrad NPP, equipped with VVER-1200 reactors, began in 2022 to replace the capacity of units using RBMK-1000 reactors. The expected commissioning dates are 2030 and 2032, respectively.
