Prepare for the power transmission industry. Build your understanding of substations, protection, testing and commissioning — then connect with people who share your passion.
Why Read: Early-career electrical engineers interested in substations will find this news brief helpful for understanding power system expansion timelines and the typical lifecycle of high-voltage projects. Project Brief: The Federal Government (FG) of Nigeria has established a target date…
A bigger transformer can ease one bottleneck. But what determines whether more power actually reaches the customer? The useful story in Port Harcourt is a regional capacity expansion—not the arrival of one extraordinary 635 MVA transformer. It is a chance…
Why read this? A preferred site is a planning milestone, rather than proof of commissioning. SSEN Transmission's 29 October update identifies Site 2, just over four kilometres north-east of Brechin in Angus, Scotland, as the preferred location for its proposed…
Why read this? Traction substations connect the electricity network to an electrified railway's supply. The Indian Express reports, citing National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited, that 14 traction substations are being developed for the 508-kilometre Mumbai-Ahmedabad corridor across Maharashtra and…
Why read this? This update distinguishes a substation expansion from its connected distribution works. Nilepost reports that Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited (UEDCL) is expanding its Greater Kampala and Wakiso network to address outages linked to rising demand. The reported…
A 138 kV rating does not tell you how much power a circuit can carry. ComEd’s approved project near Chicago O’Hare International Airport offers a useful starting point for learning how transmission voltage, cable heating and substation design fit together.…
Geregu Power Plc and Siemens Energy have announced the procurement of three generator transformers, marking a notable development in Nigeria’s electrical power sector. This partnership highlights active collaboration between a leading local power provider and a global engineering firm, with…
A recent development in transformer technology, published in October 2026, is attracting attention within the electrical engineering community for its practical approach to voltage management at the distribution level. The prototype, outlined in Transformer Magazine, integrates an active voltage compensation…
In New South Wales, Australia, a significant milestone has been achieved in renewable energy infrastructure with the energisation of a new wind power substation as part of the Uungula project. The facility, described as a 330 / 33 kilovolt (kV)…
Powergrid, a major transmission network operator, has been awarded a significant project in Maharashtra, India, with a confirmed contract value of ₹199.55 crore. This project, announced in October 2026, is set within the state of Maharashtra and is aimed at…
