The Transmission Substation Project in TROJENA is Nesma’s Greatest Accomplishment Yet
The $213 Million transmission substation construction project that Nesma is still undertaking in TROJENA will be exceptional. The company faces various challenges one of them in their transmission substation project one being altitude. The project is located in the mountainous regions of NEOM ranging between 1500 and 2600 meters. Nesma is confident that it will complete the transmission substation project within the stipulated 20 months it has been offered. TOJENA is anticipated to be a world-class destination.
