| ABB wins power order in Chile Swiss engineering firm ABB has won an order worth $15 million from Chile's leading transmission utility, Transelec SA, to provide an SVC (Static VAr Compensation) solution for its Polpaico substation. This installation will help to enhance the capacity and reliability of power supplies in the metropolitan area of Santiago. ABB will design, supply, install and commission the SVC unit at Polpaico, enabling Transelec to boost electricity supply through its existing 500 kV transmission lines, which transfer power from the south of the country to the capital, Santiago. The project is expected to be completed by 2011. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
