The project will increase the transmission capacity and the fail-safety in seven important nodes in the Kesh network, improving the electric supply decisively.
The total order includes the construction, manufacture, delivery, assembly and putting into operation of eleven transformers of 110/20 kV with 40 and 25 MVA, 110 kV outdoor substations (25 feeder), 20 kV indoor substations (89 feeder) as well as protection, control systems, electric supply and also civil erection works.
