Celebrating Sustainable Construction at Sun Central MTS Complex
We're proud to share the completion of our site camp for the Sun Central MTS complex. In line with our commitment to sustainability, we've installed a solar system with batteries, enabling us to run the site camp sustainably and live our values every day.
Our scope in this project includes the construction of the transmission infrastructure to connect 300MW of photovoltaic (PV) energy to the grid. This involves building a greenfield 400/132kV transmission substation and a 400kV Overhead Line loop-in loop-out.
This milestone demonstrates our dedication to not just talking about sustainability, but implementing it in our daily operations. The Sun Central MTS complex is a step forward in renewable energy, and we're excited to be at the forefront of this journey.
