Siemens has signed an agreement with the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) to supply Egypt's first digital power transformer - the Sensformer.

Under the agreement, Siemens will supply 14 Sensformers on a turnkey basis, including engineering, design, manufacture, installation supervision, site management, testing and commissioning, reports Trade Arabia.

The digital transformers will be installed at Kafr El Sheikh and New Zagazig 500/220 kV substations and are expected to increase reliability and efficiency of electricity supply for the delta area, a highly loaded link of the transmission grid in northern Egypt.

The companies have agreed to work on a fast-track work schedule to complete the project by May 2020.
