Siemens to build substation
01 April 2012
SIEMENS has been awarded a €26-million ($34 million) contract by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) to build a turnkey 132 kV/33 kV high-voltage substation in Mushrif, Dubai. It will replace existing Dewa infrastructure and provide electricity to strategic customers including the Dubai Royal Air Wing terminal and major shopping malls in the area.
“We have the necessary know-how and project experience for creating turnkey high-voltage installations. Depending on the project specifications, we take on responsibility for the whole project,” said Wolfgang Braun, head of power transmission Middle East at Siemens.
The turnkey project will include a 132 kV gas-insulated switchgear, the 8DN8 Enhanced, which is one of the most compact solutions currently available in the high voltage range. The project, which will be completed over a year and a half, also includes a 132/33 kV 75 MVA power transformer, four 40 MVAr shunt reactors, complete balance of plant equipment, civil design and construction works.
