Could this be a "relief substation" of some sort? This type of substation is mentioned on a handful of Russian websites. No meaningful context. Thanks!

diversion substation

"Разгрузочная подстанция" is a substation intended to reduce the required capacity of a power transmission line/network by taking off some power locally. Effectively, transmission line capacity is traded off for a number of smaller substations (instead of just a few bigger ones).
