13 March 2008 - Power engineering group Siemens Energy has received a follow-up order worth about €300m ($467m) from China Light and Power, after the successful completion of Siemens's first supply system expansion project in Hong Kong, China.
Over the next five years, Siemens will further modernize and expand the power distribution network of China's third largest metropolitan region. The latest order comprises the delivery, installation and commissioning of about 2000 turnkey distribution substations with medium-voltage switchgear.
In 2001, China Light and Power (CLP) commissioned Siemens to modernize and expand Hong Kong's power distribution network for the first time.
In the course of this seven-year contract, more than 2500 turnkey medium-voltage distribution substations were constructed. The order, worth over €250m, also included the delivery of the transformers and the telecontrol system.
Ralf Christian, CEO of the Siemens's power distribution division, said: "It is the largest order that Siemens has ever been awarded in the medium-voltage technology area. As a result, Hong Kong will have a highly reliable medium-voltage power supply."
