ZTR will supply 8 transformers for Uruguay

“Zaporozhtranformator” PJSC (ZTR) has signed a contract with state power-generating company Administracion Nacional de Usinas y Trasmisiones Eletricas (UTE), Uruguay. Following the contract terms, ZTR should supply 4 transformers and 4 autotransformers rated for capacity 83,3 MVA and voltage 500 kV. Equipment is purposed for operation at substations “Melo” and “Salto Grande” in Uruguay.

In 2011, the company UTE conducted the tender for delivery of the transformers; 8 international companies participated in this tender. The main competitors of “ZRE” PJSC were Siemens, ABB (Brazil), Hyosung, Hyundai (Korea), TBEA (China). Intensive and competitive struggle has resulted in confident winning of ZTR, owing to execution of all requirements to design features of the equipment, confirmation of required delivery terms and competitive price quotation.

“This is not the first delivery of equipment for state power generating company, – noted Galia KOSHKINA, Head of ZTR PJSC Sales office of Europe and America countries. – In 1998, 10 similar autotransformers 83,3 MVA, 500 kV were manufactured and supplied for UTE. Order has been executed within record-undertime and following the high technical level. ZTR transformers even now are successfully operated by the customer”. Such evidence has played the important role in decision-making at selection of the transformer supplier under new tender.

New delivery is a confirmation of ZTR reputation as reliable and competitive supplier of state-of-art equipment, and of its ability to take the orders from Latin America countries in condition of growing competition from Chinese and Korean manufacturers.

Equipment dispatch is scheduled for January 2014.
