In the vast desert of Suez Province, Egypt, the Exadia 500 kV substation project undertaken by a Chinese company has begun to take shape. The Chinese and Egyptian builders are currently installing and debugging the final stage of the equipment, striving to ensure that the project is put into production as scheduled. .

"According to Egypt's development plan, the Suez Canal development axis in the region will be built into the largest trade center in the Middle East and Africa. In the future, a large number of factories and enterprises will have more demand for electricity. At the same time, Egypt's new administrative capital The massive infrastructure construction in China has also brought severe challenges to the regional power supply." said Ma Chi, the project contractor and deputy general manager of the Middle East and North Africa Regional Center of Xi'an Xidian International Engineering Co., Ltd.

The 14 transformers, 57 interval GIS and outdoor equipment included in the primary equipment of the substation all adopt Chinese technology, and the equipment used in some projects has also been produced locally in Egypt. Up to now, Xidian International and Xidian-EGEMAC have undertaken more than 30 substation projects ranging from 66 kV to 500 kV in Egypt, providing transformers, reactors, switches, arresters and other power transmission and transformation equipment for dozens of substations. The production capacity of local electrical equipment in Egypt has been improved, and Egypt has become the first country in the Middle East and North Africa to manufacture 500 kV ultra-high voltage power transformers.Editor/Ma Xue
