Investing in electricity grids is a fundamental component of Metlen Energy & Metals’ energy strategy for transitioning to a greener and more sustainable future.
With extensive experience and targeted investments, Metlen plays a leading role in this transition, ensuring stable profitability while enhancing energy security.
Electricity grids are the key pillar of growth following the company’s establishment of a strong portfolio in renewable energy sources (RES). The transition to a greener, more sustainable energy model cannot be achieved without the fundamental upgrade and modernisation of electricity grids and that is the reason for Metlen’s strategic focus on network development.
These upgrades will enable the seamless integration of RES into the energy mix, making grids a crucial part of the clean energy transition.
For Metlen, grids are not just a means of transporting electricity but also a significant growth driver that strengthens energy independence and security. Through enhancing the capacity of the networks to transmit energy, stability is increased, and transmission systems are becoming more resilient.
Constructing and modernising networks allows for the optimal utilisation of renewable energy, simultaneously reducing the environmental footprint. This is in line with global efforts to decarbonise energy systems and lower carbon emissions.
Within the electricity transmission sector, Metlen provides comprehensive turnkey solutions for all types of electrical substations covering the entire range of operating voltages, from medium to ultra-high voltage levels, including gas insulated substations (GIS), air insulated substations (AIS) and hybrid or mobile configurations, as well as transmission lines, grid stabilisation projects and HVDC projects.
These have been successfully implemented internationally, making Metlen a reliable partner for transmission and distribution network owners around the world. This extensive expertise ensures the company can effectively manage and implement large-scale projects, delivering sustainable and profitable outcomes.
Recently Metlen Energy & Metals and GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions business announced that they have been awarded a £1 billion contract by National Grid Electricity Transmission and SP Transmission, part of SP Energy Networks, for the United Kingdom’s first high capacity east coast subsea link.
Leveraging on our long track-record of mission critical facilities in the power industry and our pursuit of innovation and new technologies, we are in a position to provide high value EPC services for data centres, by successfully implementing the largest data centre in Greece and executing ongoing projects of the same nature.
Metlen is also actively involved in the development, installation and integrated construction of energy efficiency projects. As one of the largest energy service companies (ESCOs) in Greece, Metlen’s service portfolio includes street lighting rehabilitation, operation and maintenance (O&M) for municipalities and districts and energy efficiency projects in both public and private buildings. These efforts contribute to environmental protection by generating cleaner electricity and reducing CO2 emissions.
In line with the global trend toward creating more sustainable urban environments, Metlen has also developed a ‘Smart Cities’ platform, which aims to create an easier, more sustainable daily life for citizens through the use of artificial intelligence and cutting-edge technologies.
Metlen through its diverse and forward-thinking portfolio, is focused on remaining a key player in the global energy market for years to come.
