330KV substation upgrade and supporting 330KV line project of China Jiangxi Corporation for International Economic & Technical Cooperation(Zambia)Limited
The consortium of Jiangsu Etern Co., Ltd and CCC Engineering Ltd has successfully won the bid for the 330KV substation upgrade and supporting 330KV line project of China Jiangxi Corporation for International Economic & Technical Cooperation(Zambia) Limited. The winning project includes the upgrading and renovation of KABWE 330KV substation and pensulo 330KV substation in Zambia, as well as supporting 330KV lines, aimed at improving the stability of the local power grid and providing sufficient electricity for smelting enterprises and residents in the pesulo area.
Among them, the Pensulo 330KV substation was successfully powered on July 9, 2024. The smooth operation of the substation marks the successful completion of the first phase of the project, providing a more stable and reliable power supply for local residents and enterprises.
At the same time, the upgrading and renovation work of the 330KV Kabwe substation is being carried out in a tense and orderly manner. The engineering team is making every effort to ensure that the project progresses as planned. It is expected that Kabwe substation will achieve power transmission by mid August 2024.
The project leader said, "The successful power transmission of Pensulo 330KV substation is the result of our team's joint efforts. We will continue to maintain high standards and strict requirements to ensure that Kabwe substation completes the upgrade and renovation tasks on time. We are confident and capable of contributing to the modernization of Zambia's power infrastructure."
The smooth implementation of this project will greatly enhance the transmission capacity and operational efficiency of Zambia's power grid, and help promote the sustainable development of the local economy and society.
