HV Projects
• Kilbarchan 88kV Substation
•
Due to long network lengths, voltage limits have been reached with very little ability to optimally distribute power.
Studies done on the networks indicate the need to migrate from 11kV to 22kV distribution voltage.
• Project need date 2014-2015

HV Projects
• Clontarf 88kV SS
•
Clontarf SS is an 88/11/22 kV
Substation. It has one 7.5MVA
88/11kV transformer and one
2.5MVA 11/22kV transformer.
The original station was built in
1974 and is now 34 years old .
• Project need date 2015-2016

HV Projects
• Rutland 33kV SS
•
Rutland SS will experience loading constraints on the
33kV in feed. This substation has undergone a capacity upgrade to 2X10MVA 33/11kV transformers.
• Plans to convert Rutland to an
88kV SS are being investigated. Mining supply will be used as the trigger for the
HV voltage upgrade.
