Zurich, Switzerland, July 19, 2011 – ABB, the leading power and automation technology group, has won orders worth $144 million, from the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), Saudi Arabia’s national power transmission and distribution operator, to construct new substations and upgrade existing ones to help address the growing demand for electricity in the region. The orders were booked in the second quarter.

瑞士蘇黎世7月19日消息——全球領先的電力和自動化集團ABB贏得沙特阿拉伯國有配輸電運營商沙特電力公司（SEC）一份價值1.44億美元訂單，興建一座新變電站和升級現有的變電站，以滿足該地區不斷增長的電力需求。該訂單是在第二季度預定的。

In addition to upgrading substations in Riyadh and Hail, ABB will be responsible for the engineering, design, supply, installation and commissioning of a new 380/230 kilovolt (kV) substation in Wasit to facilitate power supplies in the Eastern region. It will also build the Roikbah 132 kV substation (east Najran) to help ensure that the Medical City in Jizan receives uninterrupted power supplies and a second 132kV substation in Buriadah, the capital city of the Al-Qassim province in central Saudia Arabia will help SEC better serve the city. ABB will also undertake the expansion of the Jizan Central and South Khamis Imshate substations.

除了升級Riyadh和Hail變電站，ABB將負責瓦西特一個380/230千伏新變電站的工程、設計、供應、安裝和調試，以促進東部地區的電力供應。ABB還將興建Roikbah 132千伏變電站（位于Najran以東）來幫助確保Jizan醫療城獲得不間斷電源供應，另外，還將在位于沙特中部的Al-Qassim省會城市Buriadah興建另一座132千伏的變電站，這將有助于沙特電力公司更好地服務該城市。ABB也將對Jizan中部和Khamis Imshate南部的變電站進行擴建。

“These substations will further strengthen the country’s transmission and distribution grid to address growing electricity demand and serve the needs of key infrastructure establishments like medical centers and educational institutions,” said Peter Leupp, head of ABB’s Power Systems division.
