Maximum power of the connected facility will be 6,976 MW.

The grid connection of the plant under construction is carried out in the framework of an agreement to support agricultural enterprises signed between IDGC of Centre and the Government of the Voronezh region in late August of this year. The document provides, including, favourable conditions for grid connection of the food industry, agriculture and agribusiness, which are recipients of state (regional) support. It is planned that in addition to the plant of LLC "Voronezhmyasoprom" the company will provide in 2015 with the power grid infrastructure such significant investment projects for the region, as two dairy farms of GC "Don Agro" (Rossoshansky district), LLC "EkoNivaAgro" (Liskinsky district) and a pig farm of LLC "Agroekovostok" (Povorinsky district).
