Pöyry awarded assignment by Austrian Power Grid AG for the reconstruction and
extension of a transmission system substation in Austria
Austrian Power Grid AG has awarded Pöyry with the assignment for the
modernisation and extension of existing 220/380kV switchgears at Lienz
substation, Austria. The frame agreement includes detailed design engineering,
project management and installation services as well as the supply of equipment.
Dismantling of the existing 220kV switchgear and installation of the new
components will be managed step by step, in close co-operation with the client.
The project will start in July 2016 and will be completed by the end of 2022.
Lienz substation is situated in the south of Austria in the province of
Osttirol. This project provides an additional integration into the 380kV
transmission grid by means of a third 380/220kV power transformer 550 MVA and a
380kV reinforcement towards Tauern substation in the north. Upgrading and
modernisation of the 220kV switchgear provides a powerful grid integration of
Malta/Reisseck Hydropower plants and an adequate interconnection towards
Obersielach substation in the east. Due to the complex grid situation all the
deconstruction, reconstruction and extension works will be realised in ten well-
defined project phases.
"Pöyry's comprehensive offering for the power transmission and distribution
sector in Europe underlines the company's commitment to supporting its clients
with the challenges of a changing power sector. Upgraded grid infrastructures
are instrumental in adopting the future generation mix and to guarantee reliable
power supply to all clients", says Thomas Kriesch, Pöyry's Head of Transmission
and Distribution.
The values of the frame contract and call-off orders are not disclosed. The
call-off orders will be recognised within the Energy Business Group order stock
from Q2/2016 onwards.
