The first package includes upgradation and strengthening of two 400kV substations and the extension of a 132kV substation while the second package is for the construction of four new 66kV substations.
 
This is a repeat order from KAHRAMAA after Phases VIII, X, XI, XI-A and the two cabling packages under Phase XII.
