ABB Receives $30 Million Power Order in Canada

ABB has won an order worth $30 million from Hydro One Network Inc., one of Canada's leading power utilities, to provide a turnkey static Var compensator (SVC) solution for a substation serving the Toronto area.

ABB will design, supply, install and commission the system, which is scheduled for completion by 2011.
