Projects ScopeBooth Welsh are seeking a highly skilled HV Electrical Consultant Engineer to support two new projects.To support the safe and sustained decommissioning of a Nuclear Power Station following Fuel Free Verification (FFV), this project will deliver a new dual high voltage (HV) electrical supply system.The system will replace the existing grid interface and ensure reliable, resilient power for all critical site operations during the decommissioning phase.The projects encompass the design, installation, and commissioning of a new Decommissioning Incoming Electrical Supply and a Decommissioning Electrical Distribution System. These systems will provide secure and maintainable electrical infrastructure tailored to the evolving needs of the site as it transitions through decommissioning.Key elements include:
  • Establishment of a new 11 kV connection to the local Distribution Network Operator (DNO).
  • Deployment of an 11kV electrical system with modular containerised substations.
  • Integration of retained Station Auxiliary Transformers (SATs) to support essential 3.3 kV loads.
  • Incremental switchover from legacy systems to new infrastructure to minimise operational disruption.
Objectives:
  • Ensure continuity of electrical supply for decommissioning activities.
  • Improve system reliability, maintainability, and operational flexibility.
  • Reduce dependency on transmission-level assets and legacy infrastructure.
  • Align with EDF’s design integrity and modification control processes.
Estimated timescales:
  • Estimated duration for both projects is 5 years.
