Saarstahl has placed a significant order with Primetals Technologies for a new substation at its Volklingen, Germany plant. This power supply solution will connect the power grid to a future electric arc furnace, with a planned startup in August 2026.
Primetals Technologies will design and supply a complete substation to transform voltage from 110 to 35 or 10.5 kilovolts (kV).
The substation will include 110 kV gas-insulated switchgear, three 200 megavolt-amperes (MVA) transformers, one 40 MVA transformer, as well as 35 kV and 10.5 kV switchgear. A SCADA control system will oversee operations.
