POWER TRANSMISSION II

closed

The project is the second phase of a 380-kV power transmission network. The project comprises the construction of about 1,000 km of single circuit transmission lines, 16 new substations and the extension of 8 existing substations with a total transformer capacity of about 10,000 MVA, 3 switching stations, and 9 dispatch centers (1 federal, 6 republican, and Kosovo). The project includes studies of management, tariffs, and system development. The 380-kV system coupled with adequate dispatch facilities is designed to allow for greater reliability, flexibility, and economy in supplying power throughout the country. The second phase (1977-82) of the 380-kV system is an extension and refinement of the basic power grid established under the first phase or first Power Transmission Project in 1972.
