Alstom T&D India has secured three contracts, approximately Rs 240 crore, from Tamil Nadu Transmission Corporation (TANTRANSCO) to supply three air-insulated substations, to be delivered to the state of Tamil Nadu to establish a reliable grid.
Energy consumption in Tamil Nadu has grown at 6 per cent per year between 2004 and 2011, and is estimated to grow another 7 per cent during the Twelfth Five Year Plan 2012.2017. To meet demand, the state will increase power generation capacity. Alstom’s air-insulated substations will transmit this new generation capacity along the grid, efficiently and reliably.
The three turnkey projects will establish a 400/230/100 kV air-insulated substation at Rasipalayam, connecting Tamil Nadu’s transmission network to India’s national grid. It will also establish two 230/110 kV air-insulated substations in Vyasarpadi and in Omega Industrial estate, both near Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu. The substations will stabilise power supply in and around Chennai, to cope with increasing industrialisation.
Alstom will supply 62 air-insulated bays, 2 power transformers, 8 auto-transformers and other equipment for these contracts. Equipment will be supplied from Alstom T&D India’s manufacturing facilities spread across the country.
Alstom T&D India is part of Alstom Grid, a global player in electrical grids. The company’s India operations account for over 13% of overall revenues garnered by Alstom Grid’s global operations. Apart from India business, other major contributors are the operations in France, the US, Germany and China.
