Kharafi National, a leading infrastructure project developer in the water, wastewater treatment, reclamation and district cooling sectors, has said that it has completed the construction of a 500kV substation, located in the East Suhag region of Upper Egypt.
In a statement, the company said that the new plant’s successfully completion was achieved while following all COVID-19 precautionary measures for the safety of company staff.
The substation, located in the parallel axis plan of the 500 kV grid, is considered to be the largest constructed plant in Suhag. It has been built on a plot of land covering 27 acres and will cater to more than six million citizens in the city. 
The government considers East Suhag 500/220/66/22 kV substation as a strategic project that will contribute to reducing the interruptions in power that Upper Egypt has been experiencing for a number of years.
