As per the deal, Siemens will supply and install a 132kV substation AHRF C at the Mina Al Ahmadi refinery (MAA) and a 300/132kV substation MARF W at the Mina Abdulla refinery (MAB), including high-voltage cable connections.
Siemens said the works will fit in with KNPC’s clean fuels project, which includes a major upgrade and expansion of the MAA and MAB refineries to integrate the company’s refining system into one refining complex.
The project is expected to be completed in December 2015.
Siemens EES CEO Adrian Wood said, "This project will both enhance and make sure a reliable power supply is available to help Kuwait meet its future market demand for transport fuels by 2020, as it seeks to increase processing capacity at its refineries."
Prior to the new deal, Siemens supplied several industrial steam turbines and compressors to KNPC for use in their oil refinery projects.
The company has also implemented substation works at MAB, MAA and part of the New Acid Gas Revamp project.
