📈 Sri Lanka's Largest Grid Substation Completed at Habarana
• The landmark 220/132/33 kV Habarana Grid Substation, valued at Rs. 5 Bn, has been successfully completed by Siemens and DIMO. • This greenfield project is officially Sri Lanka’s largest, significantly strengthening the nation’s Grid Infrastructure. • Partnership: Siemens served as the turnkey contractor (engineering, SCADA, protection), while DIMO was the principal subcontractor (civil and electrical works), underscoring their 70-year collaboration in the Power Sector. • Impact: The substation establishes a vital transmission hub, improving interconnections and transfer capability across the North, East, and Central regions. It also reduces transmission congestion and fortifies voltage stability. • Future Growth: It anchors strategic expansion corridors (e.g., Habarana–Kappalthurai) and is positioned to integrate future renewable energy generation and support the nation's industrial expansion. • The large-scale project was completed within the contractual timeframe and was honoured for safety excellence.
