National Grid has awarded Linxon the substation package
relating to its London Power Tunnels 2 project in the United Kingdom. This vital work will help keep
Londoners connected to safe and reliable electricity
supplies.
VÄSTERÅS, Sweden, Sept. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In Spring 2020,
National Grid embarked upon a six-year, £1 billion project, to
rewire South London via 32 km of
deep underground tunnels. To connect the underground cables to the
Transmission and Distribution Networks, Linxon will design, supply,
install and commission connection bays at two existing National
Grid substation sites, undertake modification works at two further
sites and construct a new 7 bay 400/132kV Gas Insulated Switchgear
(GIS) substation at Bengeworth Road to reinforce power supplies to
South East London.
As a key enabler for the London Power Tunnels 2 (LPT2) project,
Linxon will join National Grid's Project 13 Enterprise. The
Enterprise model aims to boost certainty and productivity in
delivery, improve whole asset life outcomes and support a more
sustainable, innovative and highly skilled industry.
"We are delighted that National Grid has trusted Linxon to
deliver such large scale and critical works. Our innovative
approach to challenges and ability to harness new technology has
shone through yet again" says Stefan
Reisacher, Linxon CEO. "Linxon is excited to collaborate
with the National Grid team and join the LPT2 Project 13
Enterprise, bringing our expertise in AC grids, substation high
voltage technology and construction, as we collectively seek to
bring surety of power supply for future generations."
The National Grid London Power Tunnels 2 project is due to be
complete and fully operational in 2026 and will result in less
construction disruption during construction and operation as the
majority of works and assets are deep underground, yet highly
accessible. Additional cables can also be installed in the tunnels
to meet future power demand.
Linxon commenced operations on September
1, 2018, undertaking turnkey electrical alternating current
substation projects related to renewable and conventional power
generation, power transmission and transportation solutions.
Substations enable the efficient and reliable transmission and
distribution of electricity. Within the substation, switchgear
controls and protects the network from power outages and
facilitates reliable electricity supply.
