Localizing Aluminum Alloy Conductors Production

This opportunity entails setting up a manufacturing / assembly plant for aluminum alloy conductors (<132KV).

KSA has massive plans to increase transmission capacity, amounting to ~69,000 Ckt km of high voltage lines and ~250,000 MVA of high voltage substations (cumulative 2017 – 2030). Similarly, planned additional distribution capacity to amount to ~69,000 Ckt km for high voltage lines and ~219,000 MVA for high voltage substations (cumulative 2017 – 2030).

Beyond KSA, major regional capacity additions are planned to service the double-fold regional demand growth. Plans to increase regional transmission capacity beyond KSA amount to ~259,000 Ckt km of high voltage lines and ~775,000 MVA of high voltage substations (cumulative 2017 – 2030). Similarly, planned additional distribution capacity to amount to ~1.9 million Ckt km for high voltage lines and ~819,000 MVA for high voltage substations (cumulative 2017 – 2030).

The KSA aluminum alloy conductors market is estimated at USD 327 million in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.2%, to reach a value of USD 436 million by 2030.

With forecasted market growth, multiple opportunities exist to localize the aluminum alloy conductors production value chain. The main focus of this opportunity is on manufacturing and assembly of capacitors aluminum alloy conductors:

  • Manufacturing: furnace melting – aluminum rod production, rolling mill, rod drawing, wire drawing, stranding
  • Assembly: package and storage

However, opportunities also exist in conductors testing which includes,

  • Di-electric strength test, capacitance test
