Good news again came from PT Rekadaya Elektrika (RE) project site team colleagues, precisely for the 150 kV Tambak Lorok III High Voltage Cable Line (SKTT) project in the city of Semarang, Central Java. Of the 10 line bays that are the scope of work, the RE site team has successfully energized 1 line bay, namely the Pandean Lamper 1 compartment line bay on Monday, April 17, 2023. What is special is that the RE team managed to energize earlier than the planned schedule.

The withdrawal / installation of the underground cable (UGC), which connects the 150 kV Tambak Lorok III Gas Insulated Substation (GIS) with the existing 150 kV Tambak Lorok GIS aims to evacuate the power generated by the Tambak Lorok 3 PLTGU, so that it is expected to further strengthen the reliability of the electricity system in the Central Java area, especially the city of Semarang and its surroundings.

The scope of work that is the responsibility of RE includes, among others, pulling cables for 10 line bays, installing distributed thermal sensing, engineering work to commissioning to achieve UGC operations. The implementation of this work is projected to be completed in the third quarter of 2023.
