Sweden, Västerås: Linxon has been awarded orders by Vattenfall Eldistribution for two turnkey substations, replacing old equipment in Gullarängen and Nynäshamn.
This modernization is part of Vattenfall’s large-scale “Capacity Stockholm” program, a major investment with the aim of strengthening the electricity grid and upgrading the regional network around the capital of Sweden.
“We are proud to have been awarded these two projects by Vattenfall Eldistribution, one of our most highly valued customers in the Nordic region. These projects are a welcome addition to those that we are already working on in the Stockholm area: Skanstull, Värtan, Hall and Barkarby,” says Ingela Hålling, Managing Director of Linxon Nordics.
“The award underlines our customer’s confidence in our optimized solutions while providing positive synergies across our projects. It is also very satisfying to be able to contribute to a stable and modernized regional network in Sweden’s largest city,” she adds.
In their press release, Linxon has emphasized its commitments for these two new orders to include project management, design, construction and civil engineering, delivery and installation of equipment and, finally, commissioning of the facility.
As part of this, the existing 70 kV air-insulated outdoor switchgear will be replaced by gas-insulated indoor switchgear and, at the same time, the voltage will be raised to 130 kV. In Gullarängen, the medium-voltage switchgear as well as a power transformer will also be replaced.
Furthermore, Linxon will construct two modern buildings for the substations. An upgrade like this increases both the operational and delivery reliability of the facilities. The project is expected to be completed in 2024.
Linxon commenced operations on 1 September 2018, undertaking turnkey electrical alternating current substation projects related to renewable and conventional power generation, power transmission and transportation solutions.
