Saudi Electricity Co, the kingdom's national power transmission and distribution provider, has awarded ABB an $89m contract to build a new substation to ensure reliable power supplies for the King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh. ABB is responsible for the turnkey delivery of a 380/132/13.8 kV (kilovolt) substation, and will design, supply, install and commission the installation as well as carry out the civil works. The substation will be close to the financial centre and feed four smaller substations situated within the district. The project is expected to be completed in around 22 months.
