Transmission Lines, Substations and Interconnection Studies
Reliable electric transmission and distribution systems are essential for the continuous delivery of energy from the generation site to the end user. Establishing a reliable connection with an existing transmission grid system or to an off-grid generation project can be challenging.
Our team has a long track record for conducting the necessary studies for the long-term reliable operation of this critical infrastructure, for transmission lines and substations from 10 kV to 500 kV. We also identify the most viable interconnection solutions for projects from 1 MW to over 1,000 MW and step-up transformers from 4 kV to 500 kV.
We specialize in designing infrastructure to deal with some of the most challenging terrain and climatic conditions on the planet, from the Canadian arctic to the Congo rainforest.
