South Ola-PV 380/110/13.8 kV Substation

Located in Northwestern Saudi Arabia, the South Ola-PV Bulk Supply Point (BSP) is a key project under the Kingdom’s Integration of Renewable Energy initiative. Commissioned by Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), this substation will enable the integration of solar power into the national grid, supporting Vision 2030 goals for a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.

Managing tri-level voltage transformation from 380 to 110 to 13.8 kV requires precise engineering to maintain performance, safety margins, and protection coordination. The project also involves transporting and installing high-capacity transformers and GIS modules across challenging desert terrain, demanding robust logistics planning and environmental adaptation.

Delivered on a turnkey basis, Linxon will execute the full scope of work including design, engineering, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning, and final handover. The substation will incorporate advanced gas-insulated and hybrid GIS systems, super grid transformers, shunt reactors, and switchgear across all voltage levels, integrated with SCADA and SEC’s supervisory network.

This strategic infrastructure strengthens grid flexibility to manage variable solar output and peak demand while contributing to the National Renewable Energy Program’s Phase 6 target. The award reinforces Linxon’s position as a trusted partner in delivering complex BSP infrastructure and advancing Saudi Arabia’s renewable energy transition.
