Sävar Distribution Substation Expansion - kontakt innkjøpere

Omexom som hovedentreprenør

Omexom is serving as the general contractor for the new distribution substation in Sävar, a community near Umeå, commissioned by Umeå Energi Elnät with project management by INAB. The substation operates at 130/40/10 kV, making it one of the largest distribution facilities in the Umeå region, designed to boost grid capacity and stability to meet the area's growing energy demands.

Fremdrift og teknisk installasjon

Construction began with extensive groundwork, including the use of an electric excavator to reduce site emissions. The steel structure is now fully erected, and work has progressed to installing medium-voltage and control equipment. The assembly of the 130 kV and 40 kV switchgear is nearing completion, with three new power transformers scheduled for delivery to support the final technical phase. The project is on track for commissioning in fall 2026.

Bærekraft i materialvalg og design

Sustainability is a core focus throughout the project. Measures include using climate-improved concrete to lower the carbon footprint and integrating biodiversity considerations into the site design from the outset. These efforts reflect a commitment to delivering resilient and environmentally considerate infrastructure that supports the region’s energy transition.

Styrket nett for fremtidig vekst

Once operational, the Sävar substation will enhance the regional grid's capacity and stability, enabling further electrification and supporting Umeå’s continued growth. This project serves as a model for energy transition infrastructure, demonstrating how sustainable, intelligent distribution networks can be planned and built to meet future energy needs reliably.
