Semcon continues its long-running collaboration with Fortum

Semcon will construct and install a new electricity and control unit on behalf of the energy company Fortum at a power station in Härjedalen with an annual production of 283 GWh. The order is yet another project where the two companies are collaborating.
Semcon cooperation with Fortum began over ten years ago, when the energy company decided to outsource some of their activities within command and control systems.

“Semcon showed a lot of ambition and willingness to do a good job and was best suited to meet the technical requirements, schedule and our budget. We’ve also worked well together in Värmland for many years,” says Börje Jonasson, project manager at Fortum.

Over a one-year period, 5 engineers from Semcon will work on construction, testing and commissioning the new complex control gear.

“We have extensive experience of building control gear, magnetizing equipment, turbine control and renovations using modern technology, effectively and at a good price. This is the biggest power station we’ve worked at and it gives us the opportunity of establishing ourselves in a completely new division in terms of size of assignment,” says Göran Urby, head of Hydro Power Services at Semcon’s office in Karlstad.

Semcon Hydro Power Services is located in Karlstad and provides packaged solutions for modernising and equipping small and large hydropower stations. By renewing all electrical, regulatory and monitoring systems we improve the power station’s profitability. We take total responsibility for delivery, assembly and testing of equipment and help the customer with calculations and tests in order to get the maximum output from the power stations.
