Under the $20m contract, CG will design, construct and install a total of 36 bays of 150kV in Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan and Sulawesi islands of Indonesia.

Avantha Group Company CG’s CEO and managing director Laurent Demortier said: "This project is in line with our strategy of establishing CG as a key player in the South East Asian market.

"We look forward to our association for future collaborative projects in building a robust T&D system in the region."

The 36 extension bays will be delivered in two lots with Lot 1 involving the Java and Bali island extension bays and the Lot 2 representing Sumatra, Kalimantan and the Sulawesi islands.

The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD)-backed project intends to boost the performance transmission grid of PT PLN.

Earlier, CG signed a joint venture accord with PT PLN to develop high-voltage switchgear products of up to the 500kV class in Indonesia.
