Electricity transmission and distribution

Electricity transmission and distribution

The international community considers electricity a means of reducing poverty and intends to promote network interconnection in order to improve cooperation between nations. Sogreah has been working for several years with electricity producers, governments and multinational authorities on major network interconnection, distribution and rural electrification projects. We use our powerful modelling tools to perform network electrical studies, and also design and supervise construction of all the installations required (high- and medium-voltage lines, transformer substations, remote control equipment, rural distribution systems, etc.).
