However, the history of the company began much earlier and was closely related to the history of the country. More than a century ago, one of the stations that are now part of PJSC “Quadra - Power Generation” generated the first kilowatts of electricity in the city of Kursk. In 1901, the Kursk tramway joint-stock company signed an agreement with the City Duma for the construction of the first electric current network in Kursk. In the center of Kursk, on the banks of the Tuskar River, a brick building resembling a hangar was built. The building housed three steam engines with an installed capacity of 360 kilowatts. The launch of the station made it possible to provide light to private subscribers of the central part of Kursk, as well as to light up electric lights on the streets of Moskovskaya and Kherson. It was from this moment that the centuries-old history of Kursk CHPP-4 began. The next important stage in the history of the production facilities of PJSC “Quadra - Power Generation” was the State Plan for Electrification of Russia (GOELRO), which was adopted in 1920 at the VIII All-Russian Councils and provided for the construction of 30 power plants (20 thermal power plants and 10 hydroelectric power plants) with a total capacity of 1.75 million kWh. within 10-15 years. Six power plants, which are now part of the energy company, were built according to the GOELRO Plan: Belgorodskaya TPP (Belgorod region), Bryanskaya TPP (Bryansk region), Aleksinskaya TPP, Efremovskaya TPP and Novomoskovskaya TPP (Tula region) and Smolenskteplosetskaya (formerly 1, Smolensk region). The first-born GOELRO is the Bryansk GRES, which was a part of JSC “Quadra - Power Generation” until 2013. The Bryansk state regional power plant is the brainchild of the first Soviet five-year plan. A place for the new station was found 25 km from the city of Bryansk, near the White Berega station of the Moscow-Kiev-Voronezh railway on the banks of the Snezhet River. The construction of one of the first large power facilities in the country proceeded at an accelerated pace and on December 14, 1931, the Bryansk State District Power Plant entered into operation of operating industrial enterprises. A year later, the GRES reached its design capacity of 2 thousand kW. The history of the Novomoskovsk state district power station is no less interesting. During its construction, a fundamental decision was made - to use only domestic equipment (until 1934, the USSR was forced to purchase main and auxiliary equipment for power plants abroad). On August 24, 1934, the first Soviet 50 MW turbine generator was connected to the grid. A few years later, in 1940, Novomoskovskaya GRES reached its design capacity of 350 MW and became the largest thermal power plant in Europe and the Soviet Union. However, the further development of the country's energy system was interrupted by the Great Patriotic War. Part of the equipment of the company's power plants was destroyed, part was dismantled and evacuated to the eastern regions of the country, a lot of power equipment was taken out by the fascist invaders. Many power engineers were drafted to the front or joined partisan detachments. They were replaced by 15-year-old adolescents and women who spent several days in a row at their workplaces. Retreating, the Nazi troops tried to blow up some of the power plants. So, in 1943, the building of the Smolensk CHP was destroyed. Pipes and columns slanted from a powerful explosion, power equipment was damaged. The station turned into a heap of stone and rubble. The cost of destroyed structures and damaged equipment was about four million rubles. The operator of the turbine shop Voronov saved the Kursk CHPP-4 from destruction. Risking his life, the power engineer cut the ignition cord leading to the explosives installed under the turbine No. 1 of the station. After the liberation of the cities of the central part of our country from the Nazi troops, the power engineers immediately began to restore the energy economy - electricity was needed in factories, factories that were reborn from the ruins and in the houses of ordinary residents returning to peaceful life. In the postwar years, the power industry in the central part of the country was actively developing, new power plants, heating and electrical networks were being built.
