Sweden, Stockholm: The new 400 kV Hall substation, located south of Stockholm, has been successfully handed over from Linxon to Svenska kraftnät. The upgrade is the foundation for future development and marks a milestone in the efforts to modernize and expand Sweden’s power infrastructure.

The substation, supplied by Linxon, replaces an aging substation that had reached the end of its operational lifespan. It features advanced air-insulated switchgear (AIS) technology, ensuring enhanced reliability and efficiency in power transmission.

This upgrade is part of Svenska kraftnät’s strategy to meet the growing energy demands of Sweden’s urban population and support its transition to a sustainable energy future. The government has assigned Svenska kraftnät the task to maintain and develop the Swedish national grid for electricity. The national grid power lines transport electricity from wind, hydro and nuclear power stations to regional and local electricity networks, which in turn transmit the electricity on to the consumers. The long-term strategy is to build new power lines to meet tomorrow’s electricity needs.

Key highlights of the project are the modernization and expansion of the substation (the design, supply, construction, and commissioning), its enhanced reliability, and the focus on sustainability.

Angel Guijarro, Managing Director of Linxon Europe, commented: “We are delighted to have successfully delivered the Hall substation, which will significantly enhance the reliability and capacity of the power grid in the Stockholm area. This project underscores our commitment to providing innovative and sustainable solutions for our customers.”
