French low-carbon cast iron manufacturer GravitHy has announced the conclusion of a contract with CAP INGELEC for the design, procurement and construction (EPC) of an electric substation that will support the planned production of low-carbon cast iron in Fos-sur-Mer, France.
The total capacity of the electrical substation will be approximately 1.15 GW, of which almost 720 MW will be used for electrolysis. The facility will supply electricity to the project's industrial installations, including electrolyzers that will produce renewable and low-carbon, hydrogen and hot briquetted iron (HBI) production units.

According to the agreement, ingelecom will be responsible for the design, procurement and construction of the substation, including its connection to the French transmission system transmission network of the 400 kV RTE operator. The company will also be responsible for the distribution of 33 kV electricity throughout the planned production area. площадке.
According to GravitHy, the contract will allow for the start of detailed engineering surveys and phased purchase of equipment for a long time, while increasing project readiness in anticipation of the final investment decision (FID). Gravity CEO Jose Nordin stated that the electrical substation will become a critical component of the infrastructure of the Fos-sur-Mer project, providing electricity to industrial processes and enabling the integration of large-scale electrolysis facilities.
