As part of the project, ABB will design, deliver and commission the state-of-the-art circuit breakers with polymeric insulators, to enhance safety and robustness.

It will also design, manufacture and deliver 450 megavolt-ampere autotransformers and 735 kV shunt reactors.

“ABB’s leading-edge technologies will help boost the integration of renewables, deliver additional power and enhance transfer of electricity over long distances,” said Claudio Facchin, president of ABB’s Power Grids division.
