ABB, the Zurich based power and automation technology company, won an order
worth $18 million (approx Rs 82.8 crore) from PGCIL for 765 kV power
transformers.
The transformers are to be installed at PGCIL's Satna substation in Madhya
Pradesh, which is associated with the transmission system developed for
evacuation of power from the 3,960 MW Sasan ultra mega power project in Madhya
Pradesh. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2011.
ABB will be responsible for the design, supply, erection, and commissioning
of the 333 MVA, 765 kV single-phase autotransformers. Four of the units are
likely to be made in Sweden and the rest will be manufactured at the company's
Vadodara facility in Gujarat.
