NARTIS participates in the development of the charging infrastructure of Krasnodar Region

NARTIS, a leading Russian manufacturer of charging infrastructure and smart meters (part of NEK Industrial Group), has signed an agreement with the Ministry of Fuel and Energy Complex and Housing and Utility Services of Krasnodar Region. A key goal of the cooperation will be the development of a network of charging stations for electric vehicles in the region.

Under the agreement, NARTIS will supply and deploy modern charging stations manufactured by it. The company offers a wide range of equipment: alternating current (AC) stations with a capacity from 3.5 to 44 kW, as well as direct current (DC) stations from 20 to 240 kW, which will cover all needs from private use to mainline hubs.

"In the context of the existing energy shortage in Krasnodar Region, the development of charging infrastructure has a proportional impact on digitalization and observability in the region's electric power industry. The engineering solutions of NARTIS and Entels have made possible to alleviate the problem of energy shortages in the region by introducing hardware and software to transformer substations, which makes it possible to monitor and manage power facilities in Krasnodar Region," commented Sergey Zima, Chairman of the Subject-Matter Working Group of the Council under the Governor.

"The development of charging infrastructure is one of our strategic objectives. Signing an agreement with a leading domestic manufacturer is a key step in solving this problem. This will provide residents and guests of the region with affordable and modern infrastructure for electric transport," commented Denis Sorokaletov, Deputy Minister of Fuel and Energy Complex and Housing and Utility Services of Krasnodar Region.

The partnership also has a strong educational component aimed at training a new generation of professionals and improving the skills of experts already working in the industry. For this purpose, NARTIS transferred modern equipment to Kuban State Technological University (KubSTU), including an AC charging station, smart meters and data acquisition devices. This creates a unique practical base for student education and retraining of specialists in the field of power industry and charging infrastructure.

"The creation of a Center of Excellence at the university together with the industry leader NARTIS is a strategic step in personnel training. It allows us to build a continuous learning system: from students who have been working on real modern equipment since the first year to advanced training programs for existing specialists. Practical exercises on the transferred equipment – charging stations, smart metering systems and telemetry – ensure that graduates and professionals will possess exactly the expertise that the modern power industry urgently needs and guarantee its demand in the labor market," said Alexander Makaryan, Director of KubSTU Institute of Computer Systems and Information Security.

"We see great potential of Krasnodar Region in the development of charging infrastructure. It is important for us not only to provide the region with modern solutions for electric transport, but also to build a talent pool, giving students the opportunity to train on our equipment. This is our contribution to the future of energy and the development of new domestic technology," said Andrey Luzhinsky, Director of Organizational Development at NARTIS.

NARTIS charging stations have proven themselves due to their reliability, state-of-the-art performance and support for various charging standards. They are serviced by skilled specialists of the company. The Cherepovets plant's equipment is already in use in Moscow, Moscow Region, Nizhny Novgorod Region, Tatarstan and Tyumen Region, proving its reliability and compliance with modern standards.
