Project Overview

Distributed capacity with room for operational growth

KELM constructed a 500m, 33kV overhead line and installed two transformer substations rated at 500kVA and 800kVA for VIRA 2018 Co. Ltd.

The dual-substation arrangement supports different load categories, improves distribution flexibility and provides capacity for future expansion and load balancing.
