ACM Group

The company was founded in 2003 in St. Petersburg. Originally it was a "Personal Creative Architectural Workshop", created by architects-restorers who worked in the State Hermitage. Now "ACM Group" is a company of professional restorers, operating in many cities and regions of Russia - St. Petersburg and Leningrad region, Moscow, Astrakhan, Kaliningrad, Norilsk, in the Republics of Crimea and Karelia, the Chechen Republic, the Republic of Ingushetia and the Republic of Sakha, as well as carrying out international restoration projects in Europe and the Republic of Uzbekistan. According to the company's projects, more than 160 monument buildings have been restored.

The Committee for State Control, Use and Protection of Historical and Cultural Monuments of St. Petersburg awarded the status of a regional monument to the building of the electric power station of the Electric Lighting Society of 1886 on the Obvodniy Canal.

The area around the future power station began to form in the second half of the 18th century after the Obvodniy Canal was laid. The site became famous in the late 19th century when Pavel Nikolayevich Yablochkov, who founded the company, built the first St. Petersburg power plant there. However, despite innovative developments, the enterprise soon proved unprofitable and was taken over by the famous German entrepreneur Carl Siemens. The new power station was built in record time from 1897 to 1898 and initially consisted of three main buildings. At the time of construction, the Electric Lighting Company was the largest in the capital and provided electricity to more than half of the city's homes and businesses.

This is news, considering that today ACM Group together with URBIS SPb and KB VIPS is developing a project for restoration and adaptation of the historical buildings of the power plant.
