Landwind Gruppe substation

When renewables company Landwind Gruppe needed a supplier that could provide a full range of services to connect renewable energy to the grid, it turned to SPIE and its turnkey substation offer.

Today’s wind and solar farms require transformer stations to feed the generated energy into high-voltage overhead power line networks. As Germany ramps up its solar and wind use, it needs numerous transformer stations close to these renewable installations. In Gevensleben (Germany), wind and solar operator Landwind Gruppe tasked SPIE with building a substation to connect renewables to the grid. SPIE managed planning and engineering, performed civil and foundation works, and delivered steel components. The team supplied, assembled and commissioned high- and medium-voltage components, including cabling, to customer specifications. SPIE also connected the customer-supplied power transformer to the new substation, integrating it into the site’s high- and medium-voltage systems.
