South Korea, Seoul: South Korea’s Taihan Cable & Solution Co. has won a project for a 500 kV UHV power grid project commissioned by Electric Power Systems Engineering Co. (EPS), a joint venture of the Egyptian government. This project involves connecting substations in the Badr region, northeast of Cairo, to a new high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter station using underground power cables. The company will supply 500 kV high voltage alternating current (HVAC) cables and oversee the project.
Taihan Cable explained that it successfully competed with local companies in Egypt and well-established global firms. It expects to secure a competitive advantage in future power infrastructure projects and renewable energy projects in Egypt following this contract.
