Hyundai E&C secures $66.6 million order for Fais Solar PV 380/110kV Substation

Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) awarded the project “Construction of New Faisaliah (FAIS) Solar PV 380/110kV BSP Substation”.

The project has been awarded to South Korean based construction company, Hyundai Engineering & Construction.

The value of signed contract is SAR 249,984,000 (1$=3.75 SAR).

The Substation is made to interconnect the proposed Renewal Energy (Solar) Power Plant at Shouiba area.

The Site is located in Shouiba, approximately 80 km south of the city of Jeddah, in Makkah Province.

The Planned Capacity of the total Solar Power Plant is 2600MW. As part of Phase-1, REPDO already received bidders proposals for 600MW.

Earlier during November 2019, a total of thirteen bidders has submitted the proposals. upon technical and commercial evalution, the project has been awarded to contractor. (read more)

Project Description:

The BSP is made to interconnect the proposed Renewal Energy (Solar) at Shoaibah area in western region, with a capacity of 600MW will be injected to Saudi Electricity Company’s transmission system as phase-1. The Project Scope of Work involves two Portions:

Portion 1:

Portion 1 of the Project involves the construction a new indoor 380/110 kV Gas Insulated Substation, named as FAIS PV 380/110 kV BSP. It includes protection, control, communication and SAS/SCADA systems.

The BSP shall be equipped with IEC 61850 standards based technically and economically optimized Substation Automation System (SAS) and will be remotely controlled from the SEC’s Power Control Center (PCC) through SCADA and Communication.

The Substation consist of following major equipment:

  • 380kV Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS)
  • 110kV GIS
  • 13.8kV Switchgear
  • 302/402/502MVA, 380/110/13.8kV power transformers
  • 2.5MVA, 13.8kV/400V-230V Station Service Transformers
  • 13.8kV Grounding Transformers
  • 380kV, 120MVAR Reactors
  • 13.8kV Ring Main Unit
  • HV/MV Power Cables and Terminations,
  • AC/DC Auxiliary Power Supply,
  • Surge Arresters
  • Control/Protection System,
  • Substation Automation System (SAS)
  • Communication System
  • Fire Detection/Alarm and Safety and Fire Protection System
  • Civil/Structural works and Mechanical works
  • Security System of Class-1
  • Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Study

Portion 2:

Portion 2 of the Project involve Design and construction of Four (4) 380kV Cables Double circuits between the proposed FAIS PV 380kV BSP and transition area, Construction of Transition Area (near FAIS PV BSP), Tapping / Loop in and Out of 380KV OHTL (Shoaibah IWPP to Waha / SMR) to the proposed Transition Yard / Terminal Compound.

Project Summary:

The Contractor shall perform on Lump sum turnkey basis, the design, engineering, materials procurement, quality management, factory inspection/testing, transport and delivery to site, installation, construction, site inspection, testing and commissioning, all associated work and services until final handing over of new substation work in a satisfactorily working and operating condition.

Contractor needs to achieve the final acceptance of the works by 29 months from Contract Signing Date.
