14 May 2008 - ABB, the power and automation technology group, has won a contract worth $170m to supply two high-voltage, direct current converter stations for the Fenno-Skan 2 power link from Svenska Kraftnat and Fingrid.

The converter stations will be part of an 800 MW extension of the existing 550 MW Fenno-Skan 1 link, delivered by ABB in 1989. ABB will use its HVDC technology and equipment.

The contract is part of a larger scheme that includes a 400-kV AC (alternating current) substation in Finnbole, a 70km DC overhead line in Sweden and a 200km submarine cable.

For the Fenno-Skan 2 project, ABB will be responsible for system engineering, including design, supply and installation of the two HVDC converter stations. The system is scheduled to be in operation by the end of 2011.
