Demand for reliable electricity infrastructure is rising in northern Sweden as energy-intensive industries, including mining, continue to expand. A stable and powerful power supply is crucial for the reopening and development of the Viscaria Mine in Kiruna.
Read moreAs the demand for clean energy grows, the electrical infrastructure industry is embracing innovative solutions to reduce emissions. SF₆, a widely used greenhouse gas in electrical switchgears at substations, is under scrutiny due to its exceptionally high global warming potential (GWP), more than 24,300 to 25,200 times (*IPCC AR6 data) that of CO₂.

Building on long-standing partnerships with clients Svenska kraftnät and Sundsvall Elnät AB, the projects include the reconstruction and new construction of Odensala which is the largest air-insulated switchgear in Sweden so far.
Read moreLocated in a rural village of only 600 inhabitants, the Noordschote high-voltage substation is an important node in its area as it supplies the entire Westhoek region with electricity. To prepare for higher electricity demands in the future, Omexom in Belgium is modernising the installation, making it more sustainable.
Read moreThis episode of the Green Story takes us to Hikiä, Finland, where the local Omexom teams have developed a process to recover transformer parts and oil. In line with one of the three key areas of VINCI Energies’ environmental ambition, Omexom in Finland reduces waste production by reusing transformer oil and spare parts and recycling any leftover materials. Thereby, the team does not only preserve the environment, but has created a service that provides substantial advantages for their customers. Let’s have a look!
Read moreThis episode of the Omexom Green Story takes us to Eemshaven, in the Netherlands. Here, our local business unit has contributed to sowing 25 000 m2 of wildflowers native to the region around a new substation to offset the impact of the infrastructure on the local habitat. A bee hotel and an electric vehicle charging point on site further highlight the intention of rethinking our operations to minimiz the impact of substation construction ob biodiversity.
Read moreThe Gemini Wind Park is one of largest offshore wind parks in Europe. Located in the North Sea, 85 km off the coast of the Netherlands, it became operational in 2017. With a rated capacity of 600 megawatts, Gemini generates renewable electricity for 1.5 million people while reducing CO₂ emissions by 1.25 million tons per year. Built between 2014 and 2017, the wind park will provide clean energy for decades to come. To make sure that Gemini performs at its best, operations and maintenance are a key part of the project.
