"The company's subsidiary, Rosseti Volga, is represented in the Samara Region by the Samara Distribution Grids branch. Since January 1, it has been functioning as a backbone territorial grid organization. This will make it possible to strengthen the work on consolidation of power facilities in the region and solve the problem of ownerless grids," the governor noted.
