Special Achievements

The primary objective of this project was to connect the electrical network of Hormuz Island, located in southern Iran (Persian Gulf), to the national grid. Following detailed studies and assessments of consumption levels and load growth on the island, the construction of two submarine cable circuits between the nearest points of the island and the mainland was undertaken.
