Ethiopia's first 500,000-volt transmission and Transformation project completed

Following the February 2014 and July 2015, the State Grid company successfully won the bid for Brazil's beautiful landscape electric UHV DC sent out one phase and two phase of the project, December 2015, the current African transmission line longest, the highest voltage level, the largest transport capacity of the transmission and transformation Project-
The completion of the GDHA500 KV power transmission and transformation project in Ethiopia marks the entry of Ethiopia into the 500,000-volt voltage grade era, with Chinese equipment and Chinese standards successfully entering Africa, marking a major breakthrough in China's UHV transmission technology, equipment and engineering general contracting "going out". The project is the Nile Fuxing Dam hydropower station delivery project, including the construction of a new 2x620 km 500,000 kv double return line and a total length of 98-kilometer double back 400,000 kv transmission line, the new Dedesa, Holeta two 500,000 kv substation, the expansion of 3 400,000 KV substation, transport capacity of 6 Million-kilowatt,
The total investment of the project is 1.458 billion U.S. dollars. Engineering by China State Grid Corporation's CLP equipment company General Contracting construction, all the use of China's domestic electrical and electronic equipment, construction of a large number of use of Chinese technical standards, is the implementation of the national "One Belt, One Road" strategy and international capacity cooperation model project. The project has built the largest 500,000 kv substation and switchgear station in Africa to date, and is also the largest and most invested power transmission and transformation project currently completed overseas by the State Grid Corporation.
The project will not only play a significant role in improving the structure of the Ebola grid and addressing the problem of power supply constraints in the Ebola capital region, but is also important for promoting the clean energy delivery of Ethiopia and the construction of a global energy Internet.
The project is located in East African Plat., the average elevation of more than 2,300 meters, through the uninhabited land, the construction of the geological structure is complex, expansive soil and volcanic lava wide cloth, high temperature, rainy season long, need to overcome the front length, bad environment, a large number of equipment and other adverse factors, very difficult. Since the start of the project in March 2014, CLP Equipment Company under the leadership of the State Grid company, strengthen the Project coordination organization and planning arrangements, the establishment of business, contracts, taxation, planning, safety and quality, material supply, manpower deployment, medical and Health 8 security system, has organized domestic and foreign design, supply, construction, supervision,
Debugging and other more than 110 participating units and nearly 20,000 Chinese and foreign power construction, after 21 months of hard work, and finally built a safe and reliable, independent innovation, economic and reasonable, environmentally friendly, world-class boutique projects. "Practice has proved that CLP equipment Company is a trusted partner!" They successfully completed the task of engineering construction under the condition of short construction period, large quantity of work and strange environment, and proved that the State Grid company has outstanding engineering management and construction ability and sincere will to strengthen cooperation between the two sides. "Azebe, president of the Ebola power company, gave a positive assessment of the performance of CLP's equipment company.
