Substation Supplier Selected

For the Shetland HVDC Link, SSEN Transmission engaged a Siemens & BAM joint venture to construct the associated AC substation and switchgear, complementing BAM Nuttall’s role as main civil engineering contractor for the converter and switching station buildings, access roads and major groundworks. This contract provided the HVAC substation infrastructure required at the onshore connection points to integrate the new HVDC link with the Scottish transmission network.
