Azerbaijan: Power Transmission Project E1090 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN v. 2

I Musfiq Substation Public Disclosure Authorized Disclosure Authorized Public Public Replacement of Transformers

A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION – MUSFIQ SUBSTATION

The Azerbaijan Government has applied for funding from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank) for a project to develop transmission system control and to rehabilitate power transmission facilities. Some of the funds are planned used for investments at this substation.

The Musfiq facility is located to the west of Baku City on the periphery of the Greater Baku urban area. The substation is on quite steeply sloping ground directly above Lake Ceyranbatan. There is no obvious sign of environmental damage to lands surrounding the substation. Site access is good and will pose no problems for equipment installation and evacuation. Public Disclosure Authorized Disclosure Authorized Public Public Musfiq 220/110 kV substation is one of the five main substations in the Apsheron load centre area, west of Baku city. The station was placed in service in 1985/1986. It has connections to three 220 kV transmission lines, eight 110 kV lines and two 200 MVA autotransformers with a total combined rating of 400 MVA.

It is expected that load growth will maintain a high rate, considering the current development within the urban area serviced by the station. Moreover, the current loading conditions of the Mushfiq substation do not tolerate any maneuverability measures for the transformers. If for any reason one of the two transformers fails, Azerenerji will not be able to transfer the entire load on the second transformer. A load amounting to 120 MW will have to be shed.

Necessary rehabilitation / upgrading works subject of this EMP: Substitution of the existing transformers by two transformers rated 250 MVA each.

(Additional project work at the substation, but outside the scope of this EMP: Replacing the instrumentation and controls; and adaptation of the Public Disclosure Authorized Disclosure Authorized Public Public substation equipment for allowing installation of Remote Terminal Units for the SCADA/EMS system (transmission system control).)

The planned investment is expected to cost less than US$4 million. Public Disclosure Authorized Disclosure Authorized Public Public B. SCHEDULE – MUSFIQ SUBSTATION
