Initiating the second phase of the Heavy Equipment Transportation process, the equipment was successfully received at the construction site on the 20th of January 2023. The 220/20 kV Step-Up Transformer will be used in the Open Cycle Phase of the plant under the Gas Turbine operation, which is expected to supply the National Grid in the near future.
Similar to the first phase of the Heavy Equipment Transport process, the 185-ton cargo was barge-transported by the tugboat up to the temporary jetty erected at the outfall of the Hamilton Canal.
