The electrical infrastructure is becoming increasingly complex.

One partner for your MV projects. That makes all the difference.

Electricity demand is growing, grid capacity is under increasing pressure, and projects are becoming ever more complex. That calls for a partner who looks beyond the substation itself.

Alfen delivers complete medium-voltage solutions. From engineering and civil works to installation and commissioning, we provide reliable electrical infrastructure with a single partner managing the entire project from start to finish.

Trusted by grid operators

Complete MV delivery, from engineering to commissioning

01

Engineering

Every Alfen substation is engineered to your project's exact requirements. We design the right solution from the start, accounting for current needs and future capacity.
02

Manufacturing & assembly

Substations are built in-house at Alfen's facility in Almere. Full control over production means consistent quality and reliable delivery timelines.
03

Civil works

Site preparation, foundations, and cabling are coordinated by Alfen through trusted contractors. You don't need to source or manage a separate civil party.
04

Installation on site

We handle delivery and physical installation of the substation. Everything is placed, connected, and ready for the next phase.
05

Commissioning

Our team brings the installation live and verifies it meets all technical and grid operator requirements. One point of contact from delivery through to operational sign-off.
06

Electrical safety responsibility

We take formal responsibility for the electrical safety of the installation. The compliance paperwork and inspections are handled for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Didn't find the answer you were looking for?

  • That depends on how much support you need. We can take care of the entire medium-voltage (MV) scope, including engineering, manufacturing, civil works coordination, installation, commissioning, and electrical safety responsibility.

    You stay in control of the customer relationship and any low-voltage (LV) work outside the agreed scope. We simply step in where you need us and work alongside your team.

  • Absolutely. Every project is different, so we tailor each substation to the site's requirements, whether that's the topology, capacity, layout, or specific technical requirements.

    We start with a proven standard design and adapt it where needed. That way, you get the flexibility your project needs without reinventing the wheel.

  • We're still here when the project is finished. Alfen offers a range of service and maintenance agreements to help keep your customer's substation running safely and reliably. 

    Because we design and build the substations ourselves, our service teams know them inside out. That means faster troubleshooting and quicker support if something needs attention later on.

    Take a look at our Service & Support section to learn more about the maintenance and support options available.
