Powersystems were appointed by Connect Utilities now GTC to design and build a new 24MVA 33/11 kV primary substation.
The installation of a new scrap metal processing plant at the Sims Metal Newport site required a connection that would cope with the starting and stopping of a 6 MW 11 kV crusher motor.
Powersystems overcame expensive project challenges and negotiated a connection to the 132 kV overhead line that passed within 300 m of the generation compound.
Powersystems were awarded the turnkey design and build contract for the new generation station for 30 No reciprocating gas engines with an export capacity of 30 MW.
