ABB substationsABB Ltd has won an order worth around Rs.175 crore from NTPC Ltd to build two substations in Maharashtra. These substations will facilitate transmission of electricity from new power generation plants being constructed in western India.

The substations will include seventeen 400kV bays and fourteen 132kV bays in Solapur, and twelve 400kV bays and eight 132kV bays in Mauda. ABB's turnkey project scope comprises the design, engineering, supply, installation, commissioning and associated civil works for the substations. The project is scheduled for completion in 2016.

ABB, it may be recalled, was recently entrusted by NTPC for the construction of substations at Mauda (Stage-I) in Maharashtra, Gandhar in Gujarat and Nabinagar in Bihar.

An ABB release observed that India is expected to expand its power infrastructure substantially in the coming years. The country has an installed power generation capacity of around 200,000 mw and according to estimates of the International Energy Agency, India needs to invest more than $135 billion to add between 600 and 1,200 GW of additional new power generation capacity by 2050 to provide universal access to electricity for its population.
