KONČAR completes 400 kV substation in Macedonia
KONČAR Power Plant and Electric Traction Engineering Inc. has successfully concluded a contract today for the construction of a new 400/110 kV Ohrid substation.
This contract, worth $15.5 million, will enable an international connection with neighbouring Albania at the 400 kV voltage level, further enhancing the power system of this region.
The project includes the complete construction of a new 400/110 kV substation, along with the preparation of the project documentation and the delivery, installation, testing and commissioning of primary and secondary equipment. The project also includes equipping the other end of the power line, namely the 400 kV Bitola substation.
The construction of the 400/110 kV Ohrid substation is the fourth contract concluded between KONČAR – KET and MEPSO in the past two years, along with the refurbishment of the 400 kV Skopje 4 substation, the refurbishment of the 110 kV Prilep substation and the refurbishment of the numerical protection relays for hydro power plant switchgear. All these projects were financed through loans from the European Bank for Research and Development (EBRD).
“This project for the construction of the Ohrid substation represents a continuation of our business cooperation with the Macedonian transmission system operator, for which we have successfully completed several projects over the past few years, and we are confident that with this project we will once again justify their confidence” – Goran Leci, PhD, President of the Managing Board at KONČAR – Power Plant and Electric Traction Engineering Inc.
