SEOUL, January 07 (AJP) - South Korea’s electricity equipment maker Taihan said on Wednesday that its U.S. subsidiary, T.E.USA, has secured a contract worth about 100 billion won ($77 million) to supply equipment for a 230-kilovolt extra-high-voltage power transmission project in the United States.

The project involves construction of a new 230-kV transmission line in the Riverside area of Southern California and is aimed at meeting rising electricity demand while ensuring a stable power supply during emergencies, the company said.

Taihan said it will execute the project on a full turnkey basis, covering the entire process from design and manufacturing to installation, splicing, testing and final commissioning.

The company said that as power grid upgrades and large-scale infrastructure investment accelerate across the United States, Taihan plans to leverage its local subsidiary and branch network to expand projects nationwide.

The latest contract reflects growing recognition of its quality and technical competitiveness, built through the successful execution of previous U.S. projects, Taihan said.

The firm has won all 500-kV high-voltage alternating current transmission projects it has bid for in the United States and has also participated in technically demanding work, including a 320-kV high-voltage direct current project and the replacement of aging power grids in major U.S. cities.
