Sterlite Power receives largest global order for supply of High Performance Conductor (ACCC)

Sterlite Power secures US$47M order from GS S Korea to supply High-Performance Conductor (ACCC) for Bangladesh’s 400kV transmission line, boosting regional electric power transmission efficiency.

Sterlite Power has received an order of US$ 47 million from GS S Korea for the supply of High-Performance Conductor (ACCC). The ACCC will be used for a new 400kv transmission line across a route length of 169-km on a Power Grid Company of Bangladesh project. ACCC is also used for reconductoring on existing electric power transmission lines as it can carry twice as much current as a conventional aluminium-conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR) cable of the same size and weight.

Manish Agarwal, CEO, Solutions Business, Sterlite Power said: “This is the largest ever global order for High Performance Conductor (ACCC) in this region and we are happy to partner with GS S Korea in the execution of this prestigious project. Our order book for ACCC is full for the next 6 months and we further expect to double the volume by focussing on the SAARC countries.”
