ABB wins $108 million substation order in Saudi Arabia

摘要

ABB, the power and automation technology group, has won an order booked in the first quarter, 2010, worth $108 million from the Saudi Electricity Company, Saudi Arabia's national power transmission and distribution provider, to construct six new substations. Four of the substations, rated at 115/13.8 kV (kilovolt), will be located in Saudi Arabia's eastern region, in Dammam and Al-Hassa. The other two substations, rated at 110/13.8 kV, will be built in the country's western region, in Jeddah and Mecca. "These substations will enhance the capacity of the region's power transmission and distribution systems and help to meet growing demand for power," said Peter Leupp, head of ABB's Power Systems division.
