Siemens has energised the first two substations that will transmit electricity generated by the new power plants in Beni Suef and Burullus to Egypt’s power grid
When complete, the plants, which Siemens is building alongside with its partners, will feature a total of six 500/220 kV substations and will enable a reliable and resilient energy delivery for the North African country.
The Etay El-Baroud and Maghagha substations are part of the contract signed between a consortium, comprising Siemens and El Sewedy Electric T&D, with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) for the design, engineering, supply and installation of six state-of-the-art substations, located in El Minia, El Beheira, Qalubia, Assiut and Kafr El Zayat governorates. They will include gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), transformers and control and protection equipment. All civil work will be completed by the local-based engineering company El-Sewedy Electric T&D.
