Nexans, the worldwide leader in the cable industry, has been awarded a 26 million Euro contract by EBTE, the Alupar company responsible for the construction and development of the electric power infrastructure in the Brazil state of Mato Grosso, to supply AAAC (All Aluminium Alloy Conductor) for the construction of five new 230 kV overhead transmission lines with a total length of 775 km.
EBTE was the winner of the public auction held by ANEEL, the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Authority for a project to reinforce the power infrastructure in Mato Grosso, in Midwest Brazil. The project (ANEEL 04/2008 Group D) will provide additional transmission capacity to handle the output of a number of new power generation projects that will contribute to Mato Grosso’s economic development as well as increasing Brazil’s national power generation capacity. It comprises five new 300MW overhead power transmission lines: Juba – Maggi – Juina (447 km); Maggi – Parecis (106 km); Nova Mutum – Sorriso – Sinop (222 km).
“The Mato Grosso project is an excellent example of Nexans’ capability to draw on our wide portfolio of overhead conductor designs to provide the ideal cost-effective solution to meet a customer’s specific technical needs and installation schedules”, said Jorge Tagle, Nexans Executive Vice President South America Area.
