Montevideo, August 3, 2009.- The Electric Power Plants National Administration of Uruguay (UTE), has entrusted Teyma Construction, Abeinsa's associate, the later being Abengoa's Industrial Engineering and Construction business group, a turnkey contract for the execution of two 500 kV Substations in Montevideo.
This project, valued at 35 million dollars, comes to cover UTE's need to increase electric power transmission, raising tension and minimizing energy losses by enlarging Punta del Tigre's Plant.
Teyma will carry out the project, supply, civil works and assembly of two 500 kV substations, one located in Punta del Tigre and the other in Las Brujas. The first one will raise out-coming tension from 150 to 500 kV, thus doubling the Plant's power. The second one will be a coupling station which will allow the conjunction of the line coming Punta del Tigre with the one from Palmar. In both cases, control and protection systems will allow remote operation.
Among the works to be carried out, we can mention earth moving, foundation works -5000 cubic meters of concrete-, wiring -250km-, structure assembly and equipment -700 tons-, tests and start up.
