The project is expected to be completed in around 15 months. The company will supply the products as gas- and air-insulated switchgear, power transformers and capacitor banks, as well as control and protection equipment.
Peter Leupp, head of power systems division at ABB, said: “These installations will enhance the capacity of the power grid to deliver reliable, efficient and high-quality electricity, and at the same time minimize the network’s footprint.”
ABB said that substations are key installations in the power grid that transform voltage levels and facilitate efficient transmission and distribution of electricity. They include equipment that protects and controls electrical power.
The power and automation technology group supplies air- and gas-insulated substations covering a range of voltage levels up to 1,100kV.
