Switzerland, Zurich: ABB has won a $ 110 million order from the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) to construct substations that will help boost transmission capacity in the country’s western region.

The new substations will link the Taif East Governorate to the national 380 kV transmission grid. The 110 kV power supply enabled by the substations will serve Turbah, Al-Khurmah and Rania.

“We are privileged to continue supporting the development of Saudi Arabia’s power infrastructure. These substations will strengthen the grid and enhance transmission capacity, bringing much-needed electricity to the region to meet growing domestic and industrial demand.” said Claudio Facchin, head of ABB’s Power Systems division.

ABB will design, supply, install and commission a 380/110 kV bulk supply point substation and the expansion of the existing remote-end substations in Bisha and Sised to support the 380 kV grid interconnection.
