Introduction:

ABB has signed a four-year framework contract worth more than $100 million with Italy’s transmission system operator (TSO), Terna. The TSO is responsible for securing and dispatching electricity throughout the country.

Features:

The contract includes the supply of ABB’s gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), a solution that enables a significant reduction of equipment footprint to just one tenth of the space occupied by air-insulated switchgear substations.

ABB’s GIS solutions enable substations to be built within cities, located within buildings, underground and on rooftops, to supply safe and reliable power. GIS is a compact and reliable solution that enables safe operations in confined spaces.
