Omexom GA Energo Signs Contract for the Largest Substation in the Netherlands

Omexom GA Energo has signed a contract for the complete installation works for the construction of the Musselkanaal 380/110 kV substation, which will become the largest project of its kind in the Netherlands. The official signing ceremony took place at the headquarters of the company's Brno branch, which is responsible for international projects. Representatives from Omexom NL – Erwin Meijer, Jos Meijer, and Geert Welfing – attended the event.

Once completed, the Musselkanaal substation will not only be the largest in the country but also the most extensive project ever carried out by Omexom GA Energo. The high-voltage section will include a record number of bays, with the total volume of installation work exceeding 90,000 hours.
The total value of the project exceeds CZK 3 billion, with the installation portion handled by Omexom GA Energo amounting to over CZK 200 million.
Upon completion, the substation will be operated by TenneT TSO, with commissioning scheduled for 2027.

Technical and Project Details of the Musselkanaal Substation

  • First Modular 380 kV Substation in the Netherlands: Musselkanaal is TenneT’s pilot project in modular substation construction. This approach allows for the parallel design of electrical and structural components, improving both efficiency and predictability during construction.
  • Prefabrication and Sustainability: The project emphasizes prefabricated construction elements and sustainable design. The buildings are planned with ecological considerations in mind, although there is still room for improvement in the outdoor sections.
  • Standard Testing: Omexom is the first supplier to test TenneT’s new modular construction standard. As such, the project also serves as a pilot verification for future substations.

Connection to Battery Storage

In close proximity to the substation, the Battery Park Musselkanaal is being developed and will be connected directly to this new 380 kV substation. The project is currently in the preparation phase, with commissioning also expected in 2027.
