Bangladesh - New 230/132 kV and 132/33 kV GIS substations
In its ‘Government Vision 2021’, the Government of Bangladesh plans to supply electricity throughout the country by the year 2021. A study of the whole transmission network of Bangladesh revealed that a considerable number of grid substations and transmission lines, especially in rural areas, will be overloaded. Also, a number of substations will need renovation and modification to replace their aged equipment and unconventional designs.
Against this background, the present study shall develop necessary measures concerning:
- New 230/132 kV and 132/33 kV GIS substations
- Transmission line and substation renovation/upgrading and development
The study shall prioritise proposed rehabilitation measures to account for different loan packages under discussion.
