Two other substation contracts were awarded in March

The contract involves building a 380kV substation. Work is expected to be complete by the third quarter of 2016.
The award follows several other transmission and distribution (T&D) projects. In March the SEC awarded a $110m contract to Switzerlands ABB to build and upgrade existing electrical substations in Mecca.
