The Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) awarded Siemens a contract to construct two substations to transmit electricity from the Burullus power plant. The stations will be located in Samanoud and Aboul Matameer and “will enable power delivery to Egyptian homes as well as different industries located in the Delta region.” Under the contract, Siemens will be responsible for the design, engineering, construction, supply, installation, and commissioning of the two new 500/220 kV substations on a turnkey basis. The project “includes gas-insulated switchgear; power transformers; control systems as well as protection and telecommunication equipment.” “The two news substations will not only deliver more electricity to more homes, located near Alexandria and Kafr El Sheikh Governorates, but also … feed power to cement, oil and gas and petrochemical facilities as well as ongoing infrastructure development projects in the Delta region,” Siemens Egypt CEO Emad Ghaly says.
