| ABB wins the largest wind farm contract in Sweden ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has won a contract worth $16 million to supply the power cables to Lillgrund offshore wind farm in Sweden. Lillgrund is the largest offshore wind farm in Sweden. The installation is expected to generate about 330-gigawatt/hours (GWh) per year, enough electricity to power about 60, 000 homes. ABB won the order from Siemens Wind Power in Denmark to deliver more than 33 kilometers of single core AC cable and armored three core AC cable with integrated optical fiber, supplied by ABB’s high voltage cable and accessories production facilities in Sweden. Project scope includes underground and submarine XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulated cables, cable laying and cable installation. Swedish Vattenfall’s offshore wind farm Lillgrund is in Öresund, off the south coast of Sweden. The installation will be ready at the end of summer 2007. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
