has won a $27 million turnkey order from MEW Bahrain for gas-insulated indoor substations. The new power systems are needed to strengthen and stabilise the transmission network in Bahrain.

Under the terms of the contract, ABB will supply three new 220 kV GIS substations for the Bahrain Financial Harbour, for the power plant Sitra as well as for the residential area Buquwwah.
