Elsewedy Electric Power Systems Projects has announced that it is executing a portfolio of six high voltage power substations across various regions of the kingdom, with voltage levels ranging between 110 and 115 kilovolts. 

These projects are being implemented in collaboration with Saudi Electricity Company and National Grid Company, alongside leading global partners in electrical equipment manufacturing, including Hitachi Energy and Siemens Energy, reflecting the strength of the strategic partnerships for successful project delivery.

It is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting and strengthening the power transmission sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, said a statement from Elsewedy Electric.

These substations are distributed across the Western Region, including the Jawharat Al Arous and Naqua substations, as well as the Riyadh substation, in addition to the Eastern Region in Dammam, which includes the Al Nasriyah, Al Khaleej 2 and Al Fayhaa substations. This distribution reflects a balanced presence that supports to meet the Kingdom’s increasing energy demand.

The projects contribute to enhancing the reliability and efficiency of electricity networks and supporting continuity of power supply, in line with the growing demand for energy across various regions of the kingdom.

They also reflect a wide geographical footprint covering several of Saudi Arabia’s most vital regions, further reinforcing Elsewedy Electric Power Systems Projects’ position as a trusted strategic partner in developing the energy sector’s infrastructure and a key supporter of the expansion and modernisation of the national power grid.

It combines global technical partnerships with advanced execution capabilities, enabling the efficient delivery of complex infrastructure projects with the highest quality standards.
