This contractor is building a substation for National Grid to develop the London Power Tunnels infrastructure. To support National Grid in its transition to Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) free solutions, they have on site 7 bays of its EconiQ 420 kV Gas Insulated Switchgear to enable the transmission of electricity over long distances while eliminating SF6, in addition to EconiQ 420 kV Gas Insulated Lines.

The high voltage portfolio is 100 percent as reliable as the conventional solutions based on SF6.

1kg of SF6 is equivalent to 22.8t of CO2. This will be first Substation in the UK using this technology and by using this technology compared to the alternative, it is estimate to reduce approximately 160,147t of CO2 equivalent.
