AREVA T&D maintains strong position in Syria's high-voltage market
April 21, 2004
AREVA T&D will build two entirely new 220 kV and 66 kV indoor gas-insulated substations (GIS) located in the city centers of Damascus and Aleppo respectively. The two substations will upgrade the cities’ electrical grids increasingly strained by economic and demographic development.
AREVA T&D will also supply conventional 220 kV outdoor equipment to extend the existing Sakhour, Forsan and Aleppo H substations and connect them to the two new substations.
Under the scope of the contract, AREVA T&D will carry out design, engineering, civil works, erection and supervision and will also supply equipment including 18 bays of 220 kV switchgear, 26 bays of 66 kV switchgear, six 220/66 kV 125 MVA and six 66/20 kV 30 MVA power transformers, 46 cubicles of 20 kV switchgear and MiCOM protection relays.
Marco Graziano, Regional Vice-President for AREVA T&D said: “This is a significant high-voltage turnkey substation contract awarded to AREVA T&D in Syria and among the largest GIS substation projects ever awarded in the country. It follows another major contract, for the supply of the national control centre in Damascus, awarded to us in 2002 by the same customer for an amount of 30 million euros. This new success demonstrates our strong determination to keep a leading position in Syria’s high-voltage transmission and distribution market.”
*AREVA T&D was created in January 2004 following the purchase by AREVA of ALSTOM's Transmission and Distribution Sector.
