ABB wins $104 million power order in UAE
ABB has won an order worth $104 million from FEWA (Federal Electricity & water Authority) in the United Arab Emirates to supply substations that will help increase power supplies in the north to meet a growing demand for electricity. The order was booked in the first quarter of 2010.
ABB will supply, deliver, install and commission five new 132 kilovolt (kV) substations, and expand an existing one. ABB will supply such products as gas- and air-insulated switchgear, power transformers and capacitor banks, as well as control and protection equipment.
The project is expected to be completed in around 15 months.
“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,” said Peter Leupp, head of ABB's Power Systems division.
