LCG, June 15, 2001ABB, the Swiss-Swedish global energy service company, said yesterday it has been awarded contracts worth about $300 million to build transmission systems with a combined length of around 800 miles in Brazil.

"Upgrading and extending the network will significantly improve Brazil's power reliability," saidRichard Siudek, executive vice president and head of ABB's Utilities division. "We will use ourexperience with interconnections in Brazil to rapidly implement this important project."

ABB said it will design, procure and construct all transmission line components, including six 500 kilovolt substations and reactive power compensation equipment. Many of the projects' components will be manufactured at ABB plants in Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais, the company added.
