Alstom to increase energy highways with €800 million of HVDC contracts

Октября 15, 2014

Alstom Grid has won three major High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) contracts with a total value of €800 million (approximately half of this amount was booked in Q1 of the current fiscal year, the other half will be booked in Q2).

The HVDC projects will build energy highways for bulk power transmission in India, bring power into the heart of a South Korean city, and integrate renewable energy resources in Atlantic Canada, paving the way for intercontinental energy trade.

HVDC is a technology that enables efficient, bulk power transmission across long distances via direct current. It transmits 30 per cent more power than the conventional alternating current technology, strengthening existing networks while minimising environmental impact.
