One of the components of so-called Moscow Power Ring - the sequence of high-voltage substations located around Moscow. Here, the high voltage (500 kV) current, going into the capital along the main power lines, is lowered via transformers for city usage to 220 кV and 110 кV.

Moscow Refinery is the one of the voltage consumers that is fed directly from this substation.
On 25 May 2005, Chagino substation became the center of a major incident, which resulted in the supply being outed for several hours in many of City of Moscow districts, as well as Moscow, Tula, Kaluga and Ryazan provinces. Some tens of thousands of people were trapped in stranded underground trains in the Moscow Metro and in lifts, railway signalling was put out of action and many commercial and governmental organisations were paralysed.
