EnBi Power in JV with SIEMENS Austria successfully won the bid for the project “Investment Programme Electricity Distribution I – Lot 1: SCADA“.

This is a project funded by the KfW Development Bank. The project is under the supervision of the global consultancy engineering firm Fichtner for the end client OSHEE Group in Albania.

Project duration is 30 months.

Brief project description:

Lot 1: upgrade/extension or replacement of the existing SCADA system installed in the Distribution Control Center, located in OSHEE’s headquarters in Tirana. The updated/extended or new system shall comprise one (1) Main Control Center and one (1) Back-up Control Center located in Vlora 1 Substation, Albania, arranged in a multi-redundancy configuration.

The new Distribution Control Center(s) shall be designed to cover the major requirements for monitoring and control of the Albanian Power Distribution System Network under the Spectrum Power 7 SCADA system from SIEMENS.

Innovative technology will be integrated into the control systems of initially 15 Substations between Tirana and Durres, as well as the Central Dispatch Center of OSSH.

Online monitoring and operation of the Substations through the SCADA system, significantly improves real-time identification and management of electrical load, prevents outages and quickly resolves power shortages, ensuring faster restoration of electricity supply to customers.

The project is currently underway since 08.11.2023.
