IEC 60076 Market
Power Infrastructure
in Qatar.
Kahramaa is the sole transmission and distribution authority in Qatar. ETS manufactures IEC-compliant distribution and package-substation units for Lusail city, World Cup legacy infrastructure and the LNG corridor at Ras Laffan.
Market context
Grid topology, regulation & demand drivers.
Qatar General Electricity & Water Corporation (Kahramaa) is the sole transmission and distribution authority across the country, operating an entirely interconnected grid with 11/22/33 kV at MV and 132/220/400 kV at transmission. Kahramaa's technical specifications mandate IEC 60076 compliance, 50°C tropicalised design, copper windings and conservator-type oil preservation as standard, with sealed hermetic units approved for indoor and pad-mounted applications. The market is driven by post-World Cup legacy infrastructure (Lusail city, metro extensions, smart-city districts), the LNG capacity expansion at Ras Laffan from 77 to 142 MTPA by 2027, and Vision 2030 economic-diversification programs. QatarEnergy procures heavy-duty switchgear and oil-and-gas-rated transformers for upstream and midstream gas processing. ETS holds Kahramaa vendor approval, supplies distribution transformers, package substations and metal-clad switchgear from the Jebel Ali plant with delivery scheduled per project specification. Tropicalised C5-M corrosion protection is offered for coastal substations exposed to combined humidity and salt aerosols.

Frequently Asked Questions — Qatar
Lead times for projects in Qatar depend on the specification, scope of supply, order volume and prevailing factory load. Distribution transformers (11–33 kV, up to 5 MVA) typically build and test faster than power transformers (33–132 kV, up to 60 MVA), and EHV units above 132 kV require the longest manufacturing and testing windows. Every quoted programme includes witnessed Factory Acceptance Testing at our Jebel Ali high-voltage lab and agreed delivery terms, across the 3 cities we serve in Qatar. Please contact ETS with your technical schedule for a project-specific delivery plan.
