EGAT completes major energy expansion: a 500-kV double-circuit compact transmission line solves Bangkok's right-of-way problem

摘要

Rapid development in the Greater Bangkok area is leading to a substantial increase in the demand for energy. This expansion is particularly challenging for the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT). As land acquisition for additional substations and rights of way (R/W) for new transmission circuits is increasingly difficult and expensive, EGAT decided to upgrade the power-transfer capability of the existing 230-kV double-circuit lines by constructing new 500-kV double-circuit compact lines.
