France, Levallois-Perret: Alstom has been awarded a contract of approximately €35 million by the Greek Transmission Utility Independent Power Transmission Operator (IPTO) for the turnkey supply of four gas-insulated substations (GIS) in Greece.
The project will connect three Cycladic islands – Mykonos, Paros and Syros – directly to mainland Lavrion, located in the southeastern coast of Attica, Greece.
Alstom will supply three GIS substations (170 kV) to replace small existing power plants on the islands of Mykonos, Paros and Syros. These substations will be connected to a fourth substation, also to be supplied by Alstom, in Lavrion near Attica. The turnkey project includes design and manufacturing of Alstom equipment such as GIS, power transformers, reactors, capacitors and Agile digital substation automation system. Equipment will be manufactured from Alstom units in Switzerland, France, Finland and Turkey.
Armand Pineda, Vice President West Europe and Africa of Alstom, said, “Alstom is proud to contribute to this major strategic development, connecting Cycladic islands to mainland Greece as part of the interconnected transmission network of ENTSO-E for sustainable energy transmission. Alstom is dedicated to the development of infrastructure projects for clean energy.”
