Crompton Greaves signs contract with Paraguay to assist in grid expansion

15 Mar 2014 Evaluate

Crompton Greaves (CG) has signed a contract with the State Utility of Paraguay - Administracion Nacional de Electricidad (ANDE) for  supply of 19 single and three phase transformers amounting to a total of 683.3 MVA, for expansion of the country’s 220 kV Electricity Network.  Paraguay is one of the world’s largest exporters of electricity.  It exports to neighbouring Brazil and Argentina.  CG has been present in South America for the past two decades.

CG, which has a consolidated global manufacturing capacity of 95,000 MVA; 46,000 MVA in Asia, 31,000 MVA in Europe, and 18,000 MVA in North America, will manufacture these transformers in India and supply them in 3 lots. Spare parts, supervision of installation and commissioning, and on-site training, will also be provided. This contract was won under a competitive international public bidding process.

ANDE’s grid also faces difficulty due to distribution losses which are amongst the highest in the region. To assist in reducing those losses, and improving the grid’s energy efficiency, CG recently also won a contract for the manufacture, supply, and installation of 30,000 Smart Meters in that grid. The Paraguayan grid has 1.3 million customers and approx 32,000 kms of distribution lines. It has been growing at 4% p.a. since 2009. This contract represents the strengthening of 10% of ANDE’s current transforming capacity.

Crompton Greaves is a global pioneering leader in the management and application of electrical energy. With more than 15,000 employees across its operations in around 85 countries, CG provides electrical products, systems and services for utilities, power generation, industries, and consumers.
