Switches in a HPP are electrical devices used to control and manage the flow of electricity within the plant. These switches utilize gases, often sulfur hexafluoride (SF6).

LA-OR is set to install two SF6 gas switches at HEC Fierze in north-eastern Albania and one SF6 gas switch for the Vau i Dejes HEC in north-western Albania, as well as implement a parameter monitoring system for eight switches across both HPPs, KESH said in a signed contract notice.

Established in 2006, LA-OR specialises in construction, offering services such as study, design, consultancy, and the implementation of various projects, including public and private buildings, water supply-sewerage, repairs, maintenance, and electrical works.
