Siemens wins New Zealand inter-island connection contract

摘要

Siemens has been awarded a major contract by Transpower NZ Limited to supply two high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) converter stations for the inter-Island HVDC Pole 3 project, which electrically links the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The Pole 3 project will increase the capacity of the existing HVDC link and improve the robustness of the power supply between the North and South Islands. The new high-voltage direct current link will ensure a reliable power supply for New Zealand.
