Iraq awards power deal to Swiss company
Iraq has awarded a contract to rehabilitate three power transmission substations in capital Baghdad and another province to Switzerland-based Linxon, the official Iraqi News Agency said on Tuesday.
Linxon, a joint venture by AtkinsRéalis and Hitachi Energy, specialises in electrical AC substation projects.
The Electricity Ministry signed the contracts with Linxon as part of the Arab country’s ongoing post-war reconstruction.
The Agency said two stations are located in Baghdad and one in the Northeastern Diayala governorate, adding that they have a combined transmission capacity of 400 kV. “The contract includes updating equipment and systems used in the three stations, and upgrading protection and control systems,” it said without mentioning contract value.
