RTE international is a consulting and engineering company, created in 2006, covering all aspects of electricity transmission. The company provides services to transmission system operators and renewable energy producers...[1] It works mainly in Africa and Europe and to a lesser extent in South America, Asia and the Pacific.[2]
RTE international is a subsidiary of RTE, the largest electricity transmission system operator in Europe, which operates 106,000 km of high voltage lines and 51 interconnections.[3] RTE international employs 50 people and nearly 100 experts per year.[1]
Projects[edit]
Energy transition[edit]
The subsidiary works on offshore wind farm development projects. In particular, RWE selected RTE international as technical consultant for the HVDC systems of the 1.4 GW Sofia offshore wind farm, located on the Dogger Bank in the central North Sea, 195 kilometres off the north-east coast of the UK.[4]
Electrifying Africa[edit]
RTE international is supporting the implementation of a common electricity market in fourteen of the ECOWAS member states. This market should improve the accessibility, competitiveness and reliability of electricity. Since 2019, the company has been supporting the operationalisation of the organisation that will coordinate this common market, the Information and Coordination Centre (ICC) of the West African Power Pool (WAPP) located in Cotonou, Benin.[5]
Engineering[edit]
RTE international carries out engineering work on electrical infrastructures. In particular, it is involved in strengthening the Dakar electricity network by constructing two 225kV underground cables, creating two new 225/90kV GIS substations and building a 225kV submarine cable across the bay of Gorée.[6]
Software[edit]
The company develops coordination software for electricity transmission system operators to make interconnected networks more flexible. The software allows operators to exchange information and coordinate to find the most efficient and economical solution. This service is based on the Let's Coordinate open-source solution from the Linux Foundation ecosystem[7]
Maintenance of high voltage lines[edit]
RTE international, via its subsidiary RTEi Netherlands, has carried out a helicopter project to change bird beacons on high voltage lines in the Netherlands in 2020. The project was carried out jointly with Airtelis, the RTE subsidiary that carries out the helicopter operations, and TenneT[8]
