UK, Scotland: Linxon has been selected to undertake Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) design and reservation of manufacturing capacity for long lead equipment for 400 / 132 kV SF6-free EconiQ® GIS substations and related systems in the Western Isles, Scotland.
The Western Isles project aims to connect generation to the main interconnected transmission system and will facilitate the transfer of 1.8 GW Bi-pole from the HVDC link being developed by Hitachi Energy for the SSEN Transmission project in the United Kingdom.
In December 2023, Linxon established a long-term partnership with SSEN Transmission. The company has executed the framework agreement for pathway to net zero, which encompasses the design, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of high voltage and extra high voltage GIS substations and AIS substation works, along with associated systems in Scotland to meet current and future project demands within SSEN Transmission.
SSEN Transmission is implementing a delivery partner model that fosters long-term collaborative relationships with the supply chain, aiming to provide the most efficient solutions for consumers in Great Britain and support the delivery of the SSEN Transmission Pathway to 2030. This model seeks to explore extended commitments to projects, collaborating with the supply chain to achieve cost certainty ECI, key performance indicators, and synergy reviews.
