Montenegro, Kličevo: The Montenegrin electricity distribution system (CEDIS) is nearing completion of works worth €1.45 M to replace a 10 kV plant.

The plant is located at the 110/10 kV Kličevo substation.

“Completion of this project means a direct improvement in the stability and quality of electricity supply for about eight thousand users in the old part of the town of Nikšić,” the company said in a statement.

CEDIS announced that the previous plant was built four decades ago, so this project is extremely important for the quality of electricity supply for a significant part of users in Nikšić, and is an inevitable infrastructural precondition for network expansion and connection of new users.

“After the completion of the works, it will be possible to use the full power of 110/10 kV transformers, which have a nominal power of 31.5 MVA with forced cooling, which has not been possible so far due to current restrictions on the old bus system, ”specified CEDIS.

Final construction works are currently in progress. It remains to enter the 10 kV network and connect the power transformers on the 10 kV side, which will be carried out by CEDIS in coordination with the Transmission System of Montenegro (CGES).

The project envisages the installation of 10 kV air-insulated equipment manufactured by Siemens, while the contractor is the company BB Solar from Podgorica.

At the primary network level, CEDIS is implementing projects for the construction of 35/10 kV substations in Velje Brdo and Duklo, as well as the reconstruction of a 10 kV plant at the TS 35/10 kV Center in Podgorica.

“About €5 M have been prepared for the realization of these investments. At the same time, the second year of projects for the revitalization of medium and low voltage networks in rural areas throughout Montenegro is coming to an end. The value of the contracted works in the revitalization projects is around €26 M“, it is said in the announcement.

A multi-million project is being prepared for the implementation of the SCADA system for remote monitoring and management of the distribution network, as well as the third extended phase of the project for the installation of electronic meters for remote control.
