- Siemens Energy has delivered four mobile substations, switchgear, AC/DC equipment, and control and protection systems to the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company.
- The mobile substations will provide an overall 200 MVW to help transport power in fast-track mode to projects until the finalization of conventional substations for sustained power feed.
In consortium with Giza Systems, Siemens Energy has announced the successful deployment of four mobile substations for the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company, designed to transform transmission and connectivity temporarily and quickly in key projects in remote areas.
The new substations will improve the national grid’s resilience and ensure power stability in areas that need an urgent power supply to support ongoing projects, including agricultural projects. Siemens Energy’s scope includes two 220 kV GIS switchgear, two 66 kV GIS switch gears, four power transformers (two with a voltage of 220/22kV and capacity of 60 MVA per unit and two with a voltage of 66/22kv with a 40 MVA capacity) as well as 22 kV MV switchgear, AC/DC distribution ports, auxiliary transformers and control and protection systems.
The mobile substations will provide an overall 200 MVW to help transport power in fast-track mode to projects until the finalization of conventional substations for sustained power feed. Managing Director of Siemens Energy Egypt, Layla El Hares, said: “Time is of the essence when delivering sustainable energy solutions. Technical solutions need to be deployed at scale to drive economic benefits.”
Egypt has a clear plan to sustainably expand all its economic development sectors including agriculture and Siemens Energy is proud, The Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company added that: “Meeting our energy demands whilst achieving sustainable economic growth hinges on our ability to develop Egypt’s energy capabilities. Put simply; there is no energy transition without resilient and connected transmission systems. Siemens Energy and Giza Systems not only deliver outstanding innovative technical solutions but are also trusted partners with a proven track record of deploying complex energy projects quickly and safely. This project exemplifies what companies can do when collaborating to deliver real change.”
