Caverion delivers a new substation for Pori Energia in Pori, Finland

Caverion has signed a contract with Pori Energia Sähköverkot Oy on the delivery of a new 110/20 kV substation to the neighbourhood of Kaanaa in the city of Pori in Finland. The contract includes project management and execution: lead design of the substation, excavation and construction work, equipment deliveries, power line arrangements, cabling, testing, implementation and demolition work of the old substation. Caverion is the main contractor. The value of the contract is not disclosed.

The design work for the substation will begin in March 2015 and the new substation will be completed in the autumn 2016. Caverion will deliver all the electricity and industrial installations of the project. The new Kaanaa substation will replace the old existing substation. The rebuilding of the substation is connected to the grid renovation project, and the new substation will amplify electricity distribution of the nearby area and improve operational reliability of electricity distribution.

“Renewal of the Kaanaa substation is the largest individual investment of Pori Energia Sähköverkot for this year. When completed, it will improve the operational reliability of the grid in the entire Meri-Pori area for its part. The renovated substation meets the developing needs of living and industry also in decades to come,” says Pekka Ohrakämmen, Managing Director of Pori Energia Sähköverkot.

“I am very satisfied with our new contract with Pori Energia Sähköverkot. The signed contract is an important opening for us in the delivery of 110/20 kV substations in the Satakunta region, and it thus strengthens Caverion’s service offering in the area,” says Mikko Luoma, Director in charge of electrical automation services at Caverion Industrial Solutions -division.
