IWE was awarded the project and it will assist KEGOC with the IEC 61850 standard, digital technologies, choosing a pilot and preparing a roadmap.

USEA and USAID recently launched a new project on Digital Substation Technology for KEGOC JSC.

The project, implemented within the framework of the USEA–Central Asia Partnership, will provide KEGOC with a comprehensive review of currently available digital substation technologies and develop a strategy roadmap for integrating a digital substation technology throughout KEGOC’s system.

In the long run, the project will result in improved reliability and efficiency of Kazakhstan’s national electric grid and reduce KEGOC’s operational costs.
