22 October 2003 - Austrian equipment manufacturer VA TECH Transmission & Distribution has achieved further success in Algeria with additional contracts for Sonelgaz, the Algerian Energy and Gas Company, and Sonatrach, the national company for oil products.

Since 2000 VA TECH T & D has been a major supplier to the Algerian market for High Voltage products and substations.

In 2000 VA TECH T & D (at that time Schneider Electric High Voltage) was awarded by Sonatrach a large contract for the engineering, supply and supervision of two 220kV GIS substations to feed the oil and gas field of Hassi Messaoud.

Since then, VA TECH T & D in France participated in the major substations tenders issued by Sonatrach and Sonelgaz and over the past two years has been awarded eight projects in Algeria.

Major projects were:

* GL4 Z Arzew 60kV indoor substation carried out for Sonatrach in cooperation with Schneider Electric Industries, completed in 2002
* Bir Rebaa North and Menzel Lemjet 220/66kV GIS substations awarded by Sonatrach beginning 2002 and currently under construction
* Hassi Ameur 220kV GIS substation for Sonelgaz, currently being executed
* Borj Bou Arreridj 220kV conventional substation for Sonelgaz, currently being executed
* Mostaghanem 220/60kV conventional substation and associated transmission lines for Sonelgaz, currently being executed
* Kouba 220kV GIS substation for Sonelgaz, currently being executed
* Supply of 6 mobile substations by VA TECH T & D in Italy
* Ramdane Djamel 400kV conventional substation and associated transmission lines, awarded beginning of 2003 by Sonelgaz to the Consortium VA TECH T & D- KEC, led by VA TECH T&D. This project is the first 400kV substation to be built in Algeria.
* Two projects for the refurbishment of Sonelgaz 220kV substations of Ain El Bya and Relizane to be carried out by VA TECH T & D in Italy.

VA TECH T & D is therefore present in the Algerian market with nearly all types of HV equipment, including transformers at all voltage levels from 60 to 400kV.
