The SRTF Delivers Cable Test Equipment to Electrical Project in Northern Aleppo

Türkiye – Sunday, 30^th August 2020 – Today, Cable Test Equipment for Medium Voltage and Low Voltage electrical cables with accessories was delivered to the implementing entity (IE) in Northern Aleppo for the SRTF-funded project, “Rehabilitation of the Medium and Low Voltage Grid in Selected Urban, Sub-urban and Rural Communities in a Northern District in Aleppo”. The cable test equipment will be used for the rehabilitation of medium and low voltage networks.

Activities under this project are still ongoing with the expansion of electrical networks, which are expected to start in the coming few days. This expansion includes the installation of concrete electricity poles, the connection of aerial cables, digging 5,000-meter channels to lay the medium voltage underground cables, and installing metal towers for the electrical distribution transformers.

This project has a total budget of EUR 1.6 million and is expected to last around 15 months. The outputs of this project will directly benefit around 50,000 people, as well as 4,000 people who reside in two Internally Displaced People (IDP) camps near the area.
