Interconnector Project

Interconnector Project

AG Installations has been awarded the Eur 20 million contract for the interconnector shunt reactor and transformer project.

AG Installations has been selected as the supplier to install a shunt reactor on each side of the interconnector – in Magħtab Malta and Ragusa, Sicily – as well as a 220kV/132kV transformer in Maghtab. Shunt reactors will reduce the reactive power generated by the interconnector cable, improving its energy transmission efficiency. The transformer will step down the interconnector’s 220kV voltage to 132kV.
