The company was recognized the winner of open request for proposal announced by IDGC of North-West at the end of May 2009.

It is supposed to start work immediately so that to finish building of two exhaust lines by 2010 and provide technological area of future “Oleniy Ruchey” mining and concentrating complex with 8 mW capacity.

Experts of IDGC of North-West and “Power Group” go to Murmansk region today to the place of production to specify amount of works and reduce duration of their implementation.

To remind, agreement on technical connection of “North-West Phosphor Company”, CJSC to grids of IDGC of North-West was signed in March 2009. This project is one of the largest in Murmansk region in the past decade for “Kolenergo”, a branch of IDGC of North-West.
