Energy Distribution
Holtab is innovative when energy distribution changes
Grid companies are facing challenges as electrification accelerates. For Holtab, this development has led to new collaborations and more innovative solutions.
Compact secondary substations (CSS) for today’s and tomorrow’s electricity grids
Our compact secondary substations (CSS) are designed and optimised for the electricity distribution networks of today and tomorrow. While our standard products often fulfil every need, sometimes unique adaptations are required.
Meet future demands
Our compact secondary substations (CSS) should last at least 40 years and we always expect them to be scalable. We use proven technologies, but also incorporate new ones that meet future demands.
A long-term, turnkey partner
Knowledge, service and cooperation are our guiding principles. We build products based on your challenge and our shared knowledge. Put us to the test.
Personal safety our highest priority
Our compact secondary substations (CSS) are constructed with the highest priority for personal safety, with plenty of space and well proven technology to deliver a safe product.
Our compact secondary substations (CSS)
We build compact secondary substations (CSS) in both sheet steel and concrete and offer both standard stations as well as unique architect-designed buildings. The design, colour choice, surface finish and more can be customised according to your wishes.
A flexible solution with greater choice
We have a broad portfolio of modular and scalable solutions for compact secondary substations (CSS). Using steel and concrete as construction materials, we build safe and robust compact secondary substations (CSS). The substations are fundamentally adapted for RMU (ring main unit) switchgear and air-insulated medium voltage equipment.

Knowledge and inspiration
ReferencesCustom-built compact secondary substation (CSS) secures electricity supply on an island
The island of Stora Fjäderägg outside Umeå is famous for nature lovers and birdwatchers. When Umeå Energi future-proofs the island’s power supply, Holtab will be involved in delivering a custom-built compact secondary substation (CSS) with a reserve power unit.
